HRC Mourns the Loss of Congresswoman Louise Slaughter<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

HRC\u00a0released the following statement on the passing of Congresswoman Louise Slaughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor three decades, Congresswoman Slaughter fought tenaciously on behalf of New Yorkers and all Americans, blazing a trail as one of the most powerful and influential women<\/a> in Congress,\u201d said HRC President Chad Griffin. \u201cCongresswoman Slaughter was proud to be a strong champion for the LGBTQ community and was one of the earliest Members of Congress to support marriage equality. She also fought for the repeal of \u2018Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell\u2019 and passage of hate crimes protections, was an original co-sponsor of the Equality Act, and a longtime member of the LGBT Equality Caucus. Our hearts go out to her family, friends and all those whose lives her work personally touched.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congresswoman Slaughter has been a champion for the LGBTQ community her entire career. She was one of only 67 Members of Congress to vote against the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, earned a perfect 100 score on HRC\u2019s most recent Congressional Scorecard, and spoke out strongly against Donald Trump\u2019s attempts to implement a transgender military ban.<\/p>\n
