He pledged unwavering support for transgender Americans during Equality PAC’s National Pride Gala in Washington, D.C. The event took place amid growing concerns over attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. Hosted by Bob the Drag Queen, the event brought together lawmakers, activists, celebrities, and donors who emphasized unity and political action. Former Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine urged the community to stay united. She added, “The tide will change. The wheel will turn. This challenging moment will pass.” Representative Sarah McBride, the first out transgender member of Congress was also part of the event. She noted that despite millions spent on anti-trans political advertising, “not a single anti-LGBTQ bill or major provision” has been passed by this Congress. Jeffries delivered one of the evening’s strongest messages, declaring, “House Democrats will always stand proudly with the LGBTQ+ community. Always and forever.” He specifically included transgender Americans, stating, “America cannot be the best version of herself until every single member of the LGBTQ+ community and every single transgender American is free from bigotry, hatred, and discrimination.”
