A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House 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." It highlights several United States Supreme Court decisions from June 26 in 2003, 2013, and 2015 that addressed same-sex conduct and marriage. The resolution notes that while Supreme Court decisions have affirmed dignity and equality, many LGBTQI+ people still face barriers such as violence, discrimination, and poverty. It specifically mentions that transgender people and LGBTQI+ people of color are disproportionately burdened by these issues. The Senate aims to support equal rights and protections for all people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics. Finally, it encourages the celebration of this day to commemorate legal victories and educate the public about ongoing discrimination.
