From Stonewall to the bargaining table, the labor rights movement and the fight for LGBTQ+ equality have always been deeply entwined. Many of the protections we have now were won through organized labor. This Labor Day: no pride without a contract. Same fight, same line. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏼

Voters in Massachusetts sent a clear message yesterday: Democrats win when they stand up for trans kids and LGBTQ+ rights. Our rights are not up for debate, and we will fight for candidates who fight for ALL of us! @baystatestonewall.bsky.social @jeremycomeauma.bsky.social
Statement from the National Federation of
Stonewall Democrats on the Massachusetts Elections
Massachusetts voters sent a resounding and unmistakable message to any candidate who thinks our rights are up for debate or negotiable: they are not. Candidates who stand up for trans kids and defend the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans can win, and win decisively.
Our safety and our dignity are not bargaining chips, and any candidate who treats them that way should expect to lose our support. Candidates with a clear track record of fighting for every member of our community will earn our support. That means supporting the policies that directly impact us: healthcare access, HIV/STI prevention and treatment, job and housing protections, elder services, and the freedom to marry and raise families without interference. These issues shape how LGBTQ+ Americans live, grow old, build families, and contribute our best to this country.
The National Federation of Stonewall Democrats will continue to fight for candidates who fight for all of us, without exception and without apology.
Jeremy Comeau, President
National Federation of Stonewall Democrats

We’re sticking with @edmarkey.bsky.social! Ed has never stopped fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, in Massachusetts and across the country. This Tuesday, get out and vote for the candidate who will always stand up for all of us: Ed Markey.

We will always be there, fighting for every single member of our community. Stone walls are still standing centuries later. Log cabins rot from the inside.
Statement from the National Stonewall Democrats on the Log Cabin Republicans Throwing Trans People Under the Bus
The Log Cabin Republicans have completed their MAGAfication and fully caved to Trump's wishes with an unprincipled and cowardly move that throws trans people under the bus to try to save their own skin. We have seen this before, and it ends the same way every time, because the Republicans who are targeting trans kids and writing this legislation have never drawn the line where Log Cabin is drawing it. Anti-trans legislation was the opening move, not the whole game, and the same coalition is already going after marriage equality, adoption rights, and nondiscrimination protections. Burying your head in the sand doesn't make you safe. It just means you don't see what's coming.
LGB is on the chopping block too. It always was.
We'll keep standing with our trans siblings, and not out of obligation or optics, but because they were standing with us long before anyone thought to ask. They were at Stonewall and in every fight that came after, usually absorbing the worst of it while the rest of us collected the progress. That history is the reason our organization exists, and it's why we'll keep fighting in statehouses, in courtrooms, and at the ballot box. History has a way of sorting this out. Stone walls are still standing centuries later. Log cabins rot from the inside.

“Cartoonishly unfair”? No one’s calling Moulton a Trump ally on trans rights. The criticism is that he echoed right-wing talking points about trans kids in sports at the exact moment Democrats needed to hold the line, and it took him over a year to give a scripted “apology.” @bostonglobe.com
Yet on some very critical matters, Moulton - who recently expressed some regret for his 2024 comment - has been a staunch defender of IGBQ rights in the workplace, before the law, and in the military. (He has also voted against a Republican bill to bar federal funds to schools that allow trans athletes to play on girls teams.)
For Markey and his allies to suggest that Moulton is somehow allied with the Trump agenda on trans rights is cartoonishly unfair.

Seth Moulton is once again caught in a lie. He never once apologized for his anti-trans comments. He insulted and mocked people who were upset with him. Massachusetts cannot trust this desperate man.

While Trump wages a war on LGBTQ+ Americans to distract from his disastrous trade policies and dangerous foreign agenda, we see right through his fear-mongering. We’re mobilizing, we’re fighting back, and we’re defending our democracy. #StonewallDemocrats @jeremycomeauma.bsky.social

🚨 Urgent: The Senate is set to vote on H.R. 28, a bill that could harm transgender youth by restricting their participation in sports. This legislation has been criticized for potentially leading to invasive practices against children. #StonewallDemocrats #ProtectTranskids

1/ @sethmoulton.bsky.social’s comments about trans rights are disappointing/harmful. Suggesting “reasonable restrictions” only legitimizes the rhetoric Republicans use to dehumanize trans people. Protecting civil rights isn’t about compromise it’s about standing up for equality, unapologetically.

Trump, who dodged military service, once again shows his cowardice by targeting those who serve with honor and bravery. Transgender soldiers put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms, exemplifying true courage, even as they face discrimination from a man who has never known such sacrifice.

This wasn’t a losing issue for Democrats so much as it was an ignored issue, and we can’t address concerns — unfounded or not — when we don’t even talk about them.

“My unimpeachable record of standing up for the civil rights of all Americans, including the trans community, was irrelevant.” Sorry, @sethmoulton.bsky.social, but a truly unimpeachable record requires accountability and refusing to apologize for your own poorly chosen words falls short.

LGBTQ+ advocates met with Seth Moulton after his comments on trans athletes, hoping for an apology. Here’s how it went. - The Boston Globe
Advocates called a meeting with the Salem congressman soon after he told the New York Times that identity politics such as trans issues hurt the party.
