SUPPORTING LGBTQIA+ NEW MEXICANS
(Ms. STANSBURY asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. STANSBURY. Madam Speaker, I rise on this date of awareness to
stand on the floor of the House of Representatives, the people's House,
to show support for each and every LGBTQ person in the great State of
New Mexico and across the country.
It is shocking and unconscionable that there are still Members of
this Chamber who act with hate instead of love--in fact, we just saw it
moments ago--who want to attack and criminalize who you are, who you
love, and how you live.
I want the LGBTQ/queer community to hear me. I see them. I love them.
I support them. They are not alone, not today, not tomorrow, not ever
in this House, the people's House.
