Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher Tours LGBTQI+-Owned Business, Community Centers in Celebration of Pride Month

In honor of Pride Month, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) visited the Montrose Center, Tony’s Place, and Native Citizen in honor of Pride Month.  Congresswoman Fletcher toured Native Citizen with the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, marking her fourth annual business visit with the Chamber. “I am so proud to represent the diverse and dynamic LGBTQI+ community across Texas’ Seventh Congressional District—from its longtime heart in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood to every corner of the district,” said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher .  “Visiting places like the Montrose Center, Tony’s Place, and Native Citizen is an important reminder of how vital LGBTQI+-run spaces are to Houston’s culture, resilience, and progress.  Whether it’s providing safety and support for LGBTQI+ youth or creating inclusive spaces where everyone can gather, these establishments embody the spirit of Pride year-round.  I look forward to continuing to support people and policies that protect and strengthen our LGBTQI+ community—this Pride Month and every month.” Congresswoman Fletcher is a Vice Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus.  The Equality Caucus works toward the extension of equal rights, the repeal of discriminatory laws, the elimination of hate-motivated violence, and the improved health and well-being for LGBTQI+ individuals. In every Congress since she was first elected, Congresswoman Fletcher has cosponsored the Equality Act to protect LGBTQI+ individuals from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
