"Visibility matters. Transgender Americans are our neighbors, teachers, doctors, and friends. They save lives, create art, and strengthen our communities. And they are, as President Biden said yesterday, "made in the image of God and deserving of dignity, respect, and support."

"As Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I held the first ever Senate hearing on the Equality Act, where 16-year old Stella Keating told us that as she starts looking at colleges, "all I can think about is this: less than half of the states provide equal protection for me under the law."

"I told Stella this then, and I'll repeat it now: There is hope, and the resiliency of the LGBTQ community fuels that hope. We will never stop breaking down these barriers. That is who we are as America. That is what has defined us. #EqualityActNOW #TransDayOfVisibility"
