Encouraging the celebration of the month of June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution is a House simple resolution that expresses the chamber's support and encourages celebration of June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month. It highlights historical events and affirms that LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights, calling for equal treatment and public recognition. The resolution is non-binding, does not create or change federal law, and does not require approval by the Senate or the President.
A House resolution that recognizes June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, recounts LGBTQIA+ history and milestones, condemns discrimination, notes recent anti-LGBTQIA+ state bills and federal actions, and encourages celebration and continued pursuit of equality.
As a House simple resolution it expresses sentiment and does not create law; it cannot become law in itself.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a conventional commemorative House resolution: it provides historical context, makes expressions of recognition and encouragement, and does not attempt to create enforceable obligations or alter statute. Its construction is appropriate for a symbolic resolution.
