Representative Mondaire Jones Floor Remarks on Equality Act

New York Democratic Representative Mondaire Jones speaks in personal terms about what passage of the Equality Act means to him. "To grow up poor, black, and gay is to not see yourself anywhere. It is also to feel completely unseen," Jones says. He goes on to say that "had this legislation been enacted when I was growing up, it would've been direct evidence of the fact that things really do get better." close
