No kēia kumu, ua hana ka hapa nui o ka pro-equality i ka US House of Representatives i ka Kānāwai kaulike - he bila e hoʻokumu i nā pale federala piha no ka poʻe LGBTQ - he mea nui.

Ke hana nei nā hui kuleana kīwila i ka holo ʻana o kēia mau palekana federal koʻikoʻi, he mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka holomua ma ka pae mokuʻāina. I kēia makahiki, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka helu o nā mokuʻāina i loaʻa ka helu kiʻekiʻe loa o ka SEI, "Working Toward Innovative Equality," mai 13 a hiki i 17.
