We will always be there, fighting for every single member of our community. Stone walls are still standing centuries later. Log cabins rot from the inside.

Statement from the National Stonewall Democrats on the Log Cabin Republicans Throwing Trans People Under the Bus
The Log Cabin Republicans have completed their MAGAfication and fully caved to Trump's wishes with an unprincipled and cowardly move that throws trans people under the bus to try to save their own skin. We have seen this before, and it ends the same way every time, because the Republicans who are targeting trans kids and writing this legislation have never drawn the line where Log Cabin is drawing it. Anti-trans legislation was the opening move, not the whole game, and the same coalition is already going after marriage equality, adoption rights, and nondiscrimination protections. Burying your head in the sand doesn't make you safe. It just means you don't see what's coming.
LGB is on the chopping block too. It always was.
We'll keep standing with our trans siblings, and not out of obligation or optics, but because they were standing with us long before anyone thought to ask. They were at Stonewall and in every fight that came after, usually absorbing the worst of it while the rest of us collected the progress. That history is the reason our organization exists, and it's why we'll keep fighting in statehouses, in courtrooms, and at the ballot box. History has a way of sorting this out. Stone walls are still standing centuries later. Log cabins rot from the inside.

Like we said… Being queer is patriotic!

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Being queer is patriotic. #America #America250 #Pride #LGBTQ

Patriotism is not just waving a flag. It is fighting for the promise of a country where everyone can live, love, and pursue happiness without asking permission.
It means loving who you love in a country that has tried to legislate you out of existence, and refusing to disappear.
It means voting, protesting, serving, building families, and living openly, even when politicians turn your life into a talking point.

This Memorial Day, we remember the LGBTQ+ service members who gave their lives for this country. Their sacrifice is part of our American story, too. 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🏳️‍⚧️

The Supreme Court just ruled that children can be tortured. We won’t stay silent.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · 6mo ago

A reminder of when leadership meant standing for equality and freedom.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · 7mo ago

First they come for trans people. Now they’re pulling Pride flags off Stonewall. Make no mistake: this is about erasing LGBTQ+ history, visibility, and lives. We’re still here. And we’re not going anywhere.

Stonewall DFL @stonewalldfl.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Justice for Alex Pretti. Abolish ICE. Prosecute all ICE officers and local, state and federal officials, elected or otherwise, who enabled these atrocities to happen. Stonewall DFL and Minnesota will not rest until this work is completed.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

This is what unchecked power looks like. Congress must act. Justice must follow.

Republicans scapegoat trans people to distract from their own failures. Some Democrats helped them do it. We see it. We remember it. And we’re not backing down. @jeremycomeauma.bsky.social

Stonewall Democrats Condemn Anti-Trans Vote

TODAY’S House vote on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s anti-trans bill is a cruel and calculated attack on trans people. It is also an obvious distraction. This was never about protecting anyone. It was about fearmongering and giving MTG another moment in the spotlight.

And we will not forget the Democrats who helped make this happen. By voting yes instead of no or even present, they made trans people less safe and handed Republicans a victory built on attacking our community. That choice matters. If they had held the line, this bill would have failed.

Stonewall Democrats Condemn Anti-Trans Vote

“Republicans have no problems letting children die of preventable diseases. They don’t care what happens when children lose their health insurance. But when doctors want to treat children, and when parents agree to the treatment, suddenly they are concerned.

We are watching. Our community is watching. And we will remember who stood up and who folded.”

NATIONAL STONEWALL DEMOCRATS PRESIDENT

Stonewall Democrats Condemn
Anti-Trans Vote

Trans lives are not symbolic. They are real. Votes like this put trans youth and families directly in harm’s way.
This bill is also a blatant distraction from the real damage Republicans are doing. Their refusal to extend ACA tax credits will increase healthcare costs for millions. Instead of owning that harm, they chose to scapegoat trans people.

Now the Senate must act. Senate Democrats must hold firm and kill this bill. No excuses. No deals. No throwing trans people under the bus to appease extremists.
And as for Marjorie Taylor Greene, this is exactly who she is. A chaos agent with no interest in governing, only in attacking vulnerable people for attention.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Trans youth deserve safety, care, and support. Not harassment from politicians who should know better. Tell Marjorie Taylor Greene to find a new hobby that isn’t bullying trans kids. Take action: stonewall.hilltop-app.com

No crowns. No kings. Just queer power rising from the ground up. See you in the streets today for the largest peaceful protest in U.S. history. ✨🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Let’s be clear about why Republicans shut down the government: To take away your health care in order to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Congress is moving bills that erase LGBTQ+ people, deny gender affirming care, and cut lifesaving programs. These are attacks on our dignity and health. Our Pride belongs in the Capitol, and our voices must be heard. Stand with us and take action today: stonewall.hilltop-app.com

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Authoritarians thrive when truth is hidden and voices are silenced. That’s why we fight back, organize, and speak out. If democracy dies in darkness, fascism thrives in it.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · 12mo ago

✊🏼🏳️‍🌈The labor and LGBTQ movements are bound together. Unions fought for protections queer workers couldn’t get anywhere else—healthcare, dignity, and equality on the job. Our struggles are connected, and so is our power. #UnionPride #Solidarity

Rep. Nicole Collier is being detained for defending democracy. We stand with her. And we urge Democrats: fight anti-LGBTQ bills with the same resolve.

Statement from the National Federation of Stonewall Democrats and the Texas Stonewall Democrats
What's happening to Rep. Nicole Collier in the Texas House is unacceptable. She is being denied the basic right to leave the chamber, threatened with police custody, and placed under constant surveillance simply because she and her colleagues refused to hand Republicans a quorum. That is not how democracy works—it's an abuse of power.
We stand with Rep. Collier and applaud Texas Democrats for refusing to go along with this power grab. Their courage in the face of intimidation deserves recognition and support, and we call on allies to join them at the Capitol and speak out until this ends.
Moments like this remind us of what's at stake. Too often, Black women and LGBTQ+ people are forced to fight unjust battles without enough backup. We cannot allow that to continue. Just as Democrats are standing strong here, we urge them to show the same resolve when Republicans introduce anti-LGBTQ bills that target our community.
Equality, dignity, and democracy are all on the line.

This 4th of July, we’re reminded that democracy isn’t guaranteed—it’s something we have to fight for. We must vote, organize, and out to protect our rights and freedoms.

In the middle of the night, spineless Republicans struck a deal to rip healthcare from LGBTQ+ people, disabled folks, and working families. The “Big Beautiful Bill” is nothing but cruelty and chaos for everyday Americans.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · last yr.

56 years ago at Stonewall, queer and trans people, many Black and brown, said enough. It didn’t end the fight — it sparked a movement. What we’ve won can still be taken away. Not just in June. Every day, we fight.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · last yr.

Every kid deserves to see themselves reflected in the classroom. This ruling tells LGBTQ+ students they don’t belong—and that their lives aren’t worth respecting. It’s wrong, it’s dangerous, and it’s cruel. Full stop.

National Stonewall Democrats @natstonewalldems.bsky.social · last yr.

Ten years ago, love won. Today, we honor the legacy of Obergefell v. Hodges—and recommit to defending marriage equality, LGBTQ+ families, and the freedom to love. 🌈⚖️ #MarriageEquality #Obergefell #StonewallDemocrats

The Supreme Court just turned its back on trans kids. We won’t. The National Federation of Stonewall Democrats is standing up, speaking out, and fighting back. Our message is clear: Trans youth deserve dignity, care, and a future without fear. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #SCOTUS #ProtectTransYouth

Imagine being so fragile you’re threatened by a ship named after a gay man. Pete Hegseth erasing Harvey Milk from the Navy during Pride Month isn’t patriotism — it’s spineless culture war cosplay. Harvey’s legacy will outlast your cowardice. #LGBTQ #HarveyMilk @natstonewalldems.bsky.social

56 years after Stonewall, our fight is far from over. From school boards to the Senate floor — and yes, even within our own party — LGBTQ+ rights are under attack in every corner of this country. #Pride2025 #Democrats #Democrats #StonewallDemocrats
