Melanie Stansbury said "I rise on this date of awareness to stand on the floor of the House of Representatives, the people's House, to show support for each and every LGBTQ person in the great State of New Mexico and across the country. It is shocking and unconscionable that there are still Members of this Chamber who act with hate instead of love--in fact, we just saw it moments ago--who want to attack and criminalize who you are, who you love, and how you live. I want the LGBTQ/queer community to hear me. I see them. I love them. I support them. They are not alone, not today, not tomorrow, not ever in this House, the people's House. ___________________
