Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate Pride Month. From trailblazing activists and leaders who fought tirelessly for equality to artists and entertainers who shattered barriers and inspired generations, the impact of the LGBTQ community is felt in every aspect of our culture. While we commemorate the progress we have made, we must acknowledge that attacks against the LGBTQ community from State legislatures have reached an all-time high. It worries me that these attacks most directly impact LGBTQ youth, so we must continue to uplift young people and reaffirm our commitment to equality in America. In North Carolina, y'all means all. I will continue to work to build a world in which everyone can live safely and openly as themselves and where everyone is treated equally, no matter who they are or who they love. ____________________”
