Julian Cyr
HYANNIS – Cape and Islands State Senator Julian Cyr jointed 156 LGBT elected officials across the country to sign an open letter to President-elect Donald Trump, demanding that he respect the rights of LGBT Americans of every race, ethnicity and religion.
The letter calls on the President-elect to be an inclusive leader, and to protect the rights of all Americans under his administration.
It also expresses the LGBT community’s concerns over the President-elect’s current nominees to his administration.
The letter asks the President-elect to ensure LGBT rights are not rolled back by his administration, and to continue advancing equality over the next four years.
“President-elect Trump has appointed a host of individuals who hold anti-LGBT views to his cabinet,” said Cyr. “I signed this letter to urge Trump to advance equality under his administration and to protect the LGBT community’s hard won gains over the past eight years.”
The letter also aims to inspire the next generation of LGBT leaders to run for office and join the ranks of LGBT elected officials working to promote equality.
