The fight for Civil Rights never ends, bigotry is never defeated, it only goes into hiding, until it feels safe enough to strike. We cannot become complacent with Civil Rights, it cannot be emphasized enough, that is why Pride is celebrated annually. There will never be a time when victory has been achieved over bigotry and we can stop fighting, we must work to enshrine the rights of all peoples in this country more and more, until going back is unthinkable. The LGBT Community still face issues, particularly Queer Youth. Let me be clear, to all LGBT Youth in the Commonwealth, you are loved, you are seen, you are respected, and the Governor is on your side.
