Pride Month Statements and LGBTQI fact sheet
Today, after raising the progress Pride Flag outside of the Department of Health and Human Services headquarters, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and other HHS leaders from across the Department released the following statements to celebrate Pride Month:“Each year during Pride Month we celebrate the LGTBQI+ leaders, activists, and trailblazers, including those who have helped to improve the health of our nation over the past two centuries. We all are freer because of people like Marsha P.
We have made tremendous progress but know there is much work still to be done. We will keep fighting for a future that doesn’t define being who you are as courageous.”“HHS is doing the work to make sure the LGBTQI+ community has the same access to care and resources as all Americans, during Pride month, and all year long.
Jeff Hild – Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Children and Families and Acting Assistant Secretary for Children and Families “The LGBTQI+ community includes people of all ages, with and without disabilities. During Pride Month, the Administration for Community Living celebrates that diversity and reaffirms our commitment to ensuring that our programs respect the identities and culture of each person they serve, and that all older adults and disabled people are welcomed. Sexual orientation and gender identity should never be barriers to getting the services and supports a person needs to thrive in the community.
