Celebrate History-Making LGBTQ Legislators in Congress

We celebrate the historic milestone of welcoming three trailblazing LGBTQ lawmakers to the 119th Congress. These remarkable leaders embody resilience, progress, and the enduring fight for equality, marking several firsts for representation in the House of Representatives. Sarah McBride becomes the first openly transgender member of Congress, representing Delaware. Julie Johnson makes history as the first LGBTQ+ member of Congress from the South, bringing her experience in combating anti-LGBTQ legislation in Texas. Emily Randall breaks barriers as the first LGBTQ Latina in Congress, continuing her advocacy from the Washington state Senate.

These leaders join Congress at a critical moment, as the LGBTQ community faces unprecedented challenges, including a surge in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, harmful legislation, and rising violence. Their presence sends a powerful message of hope and visibility to millions of LGBTQ Americans and allies.

We commend Sarah McBride, Julie Johnson, and Emily Randall for their courage and commitment to equity and justice. Let’s stand together in celebrating this milestone and continue pushing for inclusive policies that protect and uplift every member of our diverse communities.
