As we approach the end of Pride Month, the SCDC is pleased to see positive progress both nationally and locally. June 2020 has been historic for the LGBTQ+ community. This month, the Supreme Court ruled that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, also applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This decision serves as a vital and unexpected victory in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality. In addition, we celebrate the five-year anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision, which established marriage equality as the law of the land. In the June primaries, we witnessed the major victories of Ritchie Torres and Mondaire Jones, who are poised to be the nation’s first Black gay Congressmen.

Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) and Representative Kevin Hern (OK-01) introduced the bipartisan Protect Telehealth Access Act today to build on telehealth’s proven success during the COVID-19 pandemic by codifying Medicare reimbursements for telehealth services.

U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) this weekend honored local frontline health care workers and first responders, veterans, students, search and rescuers, life-saving bystanders, volunteers, teachers, community leaders, and residents who worked to help the community throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic.
