A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for designating June 26 as "LGBTQI+ Equality Day." The proposal highlights several Supreme Court decisions from June 26 in 2003, 2013, and 2015 regarding same-sex conduct and marriage rights. It recognizes the ongoing barriers and discrimination faced by LGBTQI+ individuals, specifically mentioning transgender people and people of color. The resolution supports equal rights and protections regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics. Finally, it encourages the celebration of this day to commemorate past legal victories and educate the public on continued challenges.
