I’m urging the @StateDept to allow U.S. diplomats to discuss the advancement of marriage equality.
@RepCicilline, the @LGBTEqCaucus chair, @repdinatitus, and over 60 House Democrats support repealing this outdated policy.

Thanks to @davidcicilline for amplifying the #LGBTQ Afghan refugee protection plan we developed with @HRC @IEquality @IRAP @ORAMrefugee @RainbowRailroad! We're thrilled to hear that @SecBlinken is aware & hope to see its imminent implementation.
“Thank you for rightly putting the spotlight on the #LGBTQI+ community in #Afghanistan & the particular threat they find themselves under" @SecBlinken to @RepCicilline after Cicilline asks about implementation of our 10-point plan to protect refugees. globalequality.wordpress.com…

Tom, @RepJasonCrow, @RepAndyKimNJ & colleagues are urging the admin to continue aggressive efforts to protect vulnerable Afghans & evacuate those eligible from HKIA.
We have a moral obligation to ensure our partners the safe, secure, & humane passage to a new home.

President Biden is restoring U.S. leadership on the global stage by donating 500 million vaccine doses abroad.
Now we must ensure foreign governments don't exclude people from receiving these lifesaving vaccines because of who they are or whom they love.

#Pride is for celebration AND the continued fight for the rights and dignity of #LGBTQI+ people. This week, we're celebrating the introduction of the #GLOBE Act by @SenMarkey @SenatorShaheen @SenJeffMerkley @RepDinaTitus - one critical step to strengthen #GLOBAL LGBTQI rights 🙌

I am so relieved to see the Biden Administration reverse this despicably cruel policy, as I called on the Trump Administration to do last August. It is not only consistent with U.S. law, but will also help us better advance our values of justice and equal rights for all.
The State Department will now grant U.S. citizenship to children born abroad through surrogacy and IVF — a shift from the Trump administration, which denied it to children born abroad to same-sex parents in several cases. axios.com/citizenship-reprod…

Vicky Hernández’s murder in Honduras was among the 1st of an explosion of killings of transgender women following a 2009 coup - and the government could be to blame.
Now, reparations for her death could mean policy change says Angelita Baeyens of @RFKHumanRights - read for more:
A decade ago, Vicky Hernández, a trans woman, was 26 when she was found dead on a #Honduras street. Now, a human rights court is set to deliberate whether the Honduran government was responsible for Ms. Hernández’s death and owes her family reparations. nytimes.com/2021/04/29/world…

Of the 14 self-identified #LGBTQI US Ambassadors🇺🇸 none have been women. For meaningful visibility in foreign affairs, LBQ women deserve representation at the highest levels of #foreignpolicy! #LesbianVisibilityDay #LesbianVisibilityWeek

In announcing the #HumanRightsReport @SecBlinken said "Standing up for #humanrights everywhere is in America's interests. (We) will stand against human rights abuses wherever they occur."
We will hold him to that - here's our first step👇 #LGBTQI globalequality.wordpress.com…

Human rights are once again a top priority for American leadership in the world.
I worked with @RepRaskin to denounce @mikepompeo's effort to limit women's rights and LGBTQ equality — and @SecBlinken rightly reaffirmed that human rights are universal. apnews.com/article/antony-bl…

.@repdinatitus, @JoaquinCastrotx, & I sent a letter to the Acting @USAID Admin. to ensure she helps traditionally marginalized communities who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, like LGBTQI+, people w/ disabilities, & racial minorities w/ COVID relief.

As @AmbPower44🇺🇸🇺🇳 Samantha Power championed #LGBTQI🏳️🌈 rights while strengthening global partnerships. "The more... representative we can be in talking democracy & #humanrights the better" she affirmed in her @USAID confirmation hearing. We look forward to working with her again!
