>> Assemblymember Bichotte Celebrates the 46th Anniversary of Stonewall, the SCOTUS Decision and PRIDE
>>  
>>  
>> Today marks the 46th Anniversary of Stonewall, which many would credit as the spark for the LGBT rights movement. This past Friday, was a momentous occasion for the LGBT community with the announcement of the Supreme Court ruling that the Constitution guarantees a right to marry -- yet another milestone for civil rights. No one should ever be denied the right to marry the person they love, and this ruling finally ensures that gay couples can no longer be treated like second-class citizens by the state in which they live.
>>  
>> I'm proud our nation has finally embraced what so many have long held to be a basic human right and made it crystal clear - from this day forward, no one will ever be denied their constitutional right to marry - whether they are gay or straight.
>>  
>> I'm also proud that earlier this year my colleagues and I passed the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) (A.4558-A). Unfortunately, many are still being evicted from their homes, denied a job, refused service, or are victims of crimes simply because they are transgender.
>>  
>> It's time for the Senate to join us to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression to ensure everyone is treated fairly throughout all of New York State.
>>  
>> Wishing everyone a happy Pride!
