Today, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson received a perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) - the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) civil rights organization for supporting LGBTQ equality in the 116th Congress. Members of Congress were scored based on a range of key indicators of support from votes in the House to pass pro-equality legislation like the Equality Act to votes in the Senate to confirm anti-LGBTQ Trump-Pence cabinet officials and judicial nominees, as well as co-sponsorships in both chambers on pieces of legislation that significantly impact LGBTQ people and their families. I am deeply honored to receive a perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign today, as I have dedicatedmy legislative career to fighting against discrimination in all its forms, said Congresswoman Eddie BerniceJohnson. In recent years, ournation has made critical steps towards achieving equality. However, this work isnot done, and I am committed to supporting themembers of the LGBTQ community in my district and acrossAmerica. We must work towards eliminating any inequities anddisproportionate impacts, including in access tohealth care services and safe housing.
