Legislators form Equality Caucus dedicated to the advancement of LGBTQ+ community
“Legislators have been fighting for decades to ensure LGBTQ+ citizens have the same rights as everyone else, ensuring they can marry, raise children, access healthcare, and be treated the same as everyone else. Establishing this Caucus formalizes and reaffirms the state’s commitment to addressing ongoing issues of inequality and discrimination against LGBTQ+ citizens, taking the next step in Hawaii’s long tradition of recognizing prejudice and discrimination where it still exists, and taking action to end it,” says Senator Lee.
