Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, introduced the first Senate resolution to recognize June as LGBTQ 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. So I’m proud to lead the first-ever Senate resolution recognizing June as LGBTQ Pride Month. And today, I’m equally proud that so many of my colleagues heartily agreed to cosponsor,” Brown said in a series of tweets. “An outpouring of support for the LGBTQ community. We must always stand with our LGBTQ friends and neighbors—not just during the month of June, but year round.”
