A resolution recognizing June 2025, as "LGBTQ Pride Month".
This bill is a Senate Resolution recognizing June 2025 as LGBTQ Pride Month. As a non-binding, symbolic measure, it expresses the Senate’s support for LGBTQ rights and equality, acknowledges the history and contributions of LGBTQ people in the United States, and calls for the celebration of Pride Month to educate the public about discrimination and to honor the community’s achievements. While it affirms commitment to inclusion and civil rights, it does not create new legal rights, authorize funding, or change existing law. The resolution emphasizes that LGBTQ rights are human rights, highlights past and ongoing discrimination, and references key legal milestones (such as Obergefell v. Hodges and the Respect for Marriage Act). It also notes barriers to data collection on sexual orientation and gender identity and frames Pride Month as a national opportunity to learn, reflect, and celebrate.
