It’s Time to Disarm Hate

The safety of LGBTQ people -- and others disproportionately targeted by hate -- requires the adoption of common-sense gun safety measures, including limiting access to assault-style rifles, expanding background checks, and limiting the ability for suspected terrorists, and those with a history of domestic abuse to access guns. The urgency to combat hate and violence in all its forms was made tragically clear yet again this week, after our nation was rocked by at least three mass shootings on Wednesday, including one that injured a Republican Member of Congress, U.S. Capitol Police officers and others.

Now as always, we must stand united in support of justice and equality, and show the world that we are stronger than hate and fear.
