Shame on you for betraying LGBTQ people

To: Sen. Schumer

From: A constituent in Rochester, NY

December 16

Shame on you for voting to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent (S. 1071). This is not what it looks like to be an Ally to LGBTQ people. Take down your rainbow flags and don’t claim to support us when your record shows otherwise. Being an Ally means sticking your neck out for us and behaving as if the consequences apply to you too, even if your privileges mean you could avoid them. You have failed our trans & intersex siblings and you should be ashamed.
