On the Day of No Silence, a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness about the bullying and discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ students, politicians, and organizations across the United States voiced their support for the LGBTQ+ community. Representatives and members of the Equality Caucus, including Rep. Dina Titus and Sen. Tina Smith, highlighted the importance of supporting the Equality Act and addressing the high rates of bullying experienced by LGBTQ+ youth. Gov. Whitmer of Michigan expressed a commitment to making the state a welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community. The Day of No Silence also saw resolutions introduced to prioritize the safety of LGBTQ+ students, with Rep. Mark Takano and others calling for action against harassment and bullying in schools. The Equality Caucus, alongside various lawmakers, stood against the filing of over 55 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills in the U.S. House this Congress, emphasizing the need to protect LGBTQ+ students from discrimination and attacks on their rights.
Sadly, LGBTQI+ students across the country are facing attacks from extremists. All students deserve an education free from discrimination. We can’t let these hateful forces of evil discourage us. If we have hope and perseverance, love and kindness will prevail. #DayOfNoSilence https://t.co/cRx0VwEsBO
