Norton to Celebrate DC Latino Pride
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will speak at a panel at the 8th annual DC Latino Pride: La Plática Panel Discussion today, Thursday, May 29, at 7:45 p.m., at the Human Rights Campaign Equity Forum, at 1640 Rhode Island Ave. NW. Her remarks will be preceded by a panel discussion on challenges faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Latino youth and family acceptance during the coming out process.
"I am pleased to have the opportunity to offer remarks at this year's DC Latino Pride celebration," said Norton. "The increasing acceptance of our LGBT friends across the country still leaves work to be done in communities of color. I am particularly proud of those in the Latino community who have stepped forward for this important human rights issue."
