EL MUNDO ESPERA ESPERANZA Y PAZ SOCIAL EN LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS
Dear Maclovia, Today we celebrate. Our country and our democracy have endured. As the stunning poet laureate Amanda Gorman observed today: “Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, just unfinished.” Congratulations, President Biden and Vice-President Harris! A heavy weight has been lifted. Under the previous administration, members of our LGBTQ family have been banned from serving in the U.S. military. We also had to fight before the Supreme Court as the administration worked to exclude us from federal nondiscrimination protections. In just the last week, Health and Human Services received instructions allowing social service providers to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans. Those days are over. As Lady Gaga, J-Lo and Garth Brooks descended the stairs and took to the stage, it was clear that all Americans were being welcomed back to our country. Each lyric from the great American songbook carried a new poignancy and urgency. We will never hear those songs the same way again after the last four years. Here in Utah, we have another reason to celebrate. Governor Spencer Cox and Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson have released an impressive new document for their first 500 days: One Utah Roadmap. In this ambitious and inclusive plan they make a promise to elevate women, people of color and LGBTQIA+ Utahns. This is a historic first for any Republican governor. Governor Cox and Lt. Governor Henderson, thank you! This document fills us with both hope and possibility. The LGBTQ community is here to serve our state, and help you realize your ambitious vision of inclusion. Our nation and state face incredible challenges. But today, we have reasons to celebrate: new administrations in state and federal government, the historic first woman (of color!) to be vice-president, and a new roadmap that includes and elevates LGBTQ Utahns. Today, we are filled with gratitude and hope. Let’s work together to finish the promise. Your Friend, Troy Williams Executive Director
