Sen. Sherrod Brown wants recognition for Pride month

“This year, the White House broke with an 8 year tradition and did not issue a presidential proclamation acknowledging June as Pride Month,” Brown, D-Ohio, said.

And today, I'm equally proud that so many of my colleagues heartily agreed to cosponsor. An outpouring of support for the LGBTQ community. pic.twitter.com/ccDKhb1jsX

According to The Hill, twenty-three other senators are tagged as sponsoring the legislation.

Trump broke with tradition by not recognizing June as LGBT Pride month, but other members of his administration released statements marking the month, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
