Bill > HRes52

This resolution recognizes and honors the critical work of community organizations and individuals who create and maintain supportive spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community (an acronym representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex, asexual, and other identities). The resolution highlights the historical and ongoing importance of these community spaces, which provide safe environments for authentic self-expression, mental well-being, and social activism. It acknowledges significant historical moments like the 1969 Stonewall Inn protests, the founding of organizations like GLAAD and ACT UP, and the cultural significance of spaces like LGBTQIA+ bars and ballroom culture. The resolution also addresses the challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, including disproportionate rates of violence, declining community spaces, and hate-based incidents. Ultimately, the resolution calls for recognizing the necessity of these community spaces, commending those who foster partnerships, acknowledging the intersectional struggle against oppression, honoring past and present organizations, affirming the importance of education and awareness, and encouraging continued support for marginalized community organizations.
