Excerpt from the Human Rights Campaign’s Executive Director, Joe Solmonese’s PRIDE celebration message:
As Dr. King famously wrote, “we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.” In this new era, our ties to one another are both valuable and inescapable. Within the LGBT community, this means that we do not rest until no one can be fired because of their gender identity. We do not rest until we have ended the discharges in the military. And we do not rest until every LGBT person can marry, and the federal government honors our marriages equally.
Our network of mutuality includes our neighbors, our co-workers, our families, and the American public at large. As people get to know us, they support us.
