PRIDE🏳️‍🌈2020

 

Love conquers all, even hate.  

 

 

 

Because right now, listening, supporting, and loving is what matters most, we are proud to celebrate #PrideMonth.  

Especially this month, we join in celebrating the overdue yet welcome news on the landmark Supreme Court ruling on Civil Rights Act Title VII that clearly states, “An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law,” – Justice Neil M. Gorsuch 

 

Actions based in inclusivity, togetherness, love, and progress will always be supported and celebrated by Townsend Leather.  There is still so far to go, but as we look out to the horizon, we feel a sense of hope and peace at the path forward.  

 

One way Townsend Leather is taking action this month is in renewing our support of the HRC.  

The Human Rights Campaign and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation together serve as America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve LGBTQ equality. By inspiring and engaging individuals and communities, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBTQ people and realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people are ensured equality and embraced as full members of society at home, at work and in every community. www.hrc.org

It is a mission we are proud to be connected to and will continue to support.  

We are also proud to be able to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the historic and moving ruling from our Supreme Court in favor of nationwide marriage equality.  Progress takes struggle.  Progress takes time.  We are proud to be able to be witness to progress and eagerly look toward a future of even more. 

A 4th of July to Celebrate!
