Bob Menendez: “The President proclaimed in June 2011 the recognition of the rights of individuals of people who are gay and lesbian.”

More than 700,000 New Jerseyans sent me here to be their voice in Congress and to address the challenges they face each and every day. Many of those constituents have sent me messages advocating for what is most important to them…

I just want to underscore that point because it is so important.

I appreciate that and wish I had more time.

I appreciate your partnership. I appreciate you putting the full weight of the Department behind this issue.
