[applause] i've gone to meet kate a number of times to get to know her a little bit, but she is a symbol of standing for social justice in our city, and it is with great pride that i welcome up kate kendall to the microphone and pronounced today, kate kendall day in the city of san francisco. [cheers and applause] the stage is yours. >> thank you. i was not prepared for that. i really thought i was just coming, just like all of you to a flag raising. i didn't realize that i was going to be acknowledged in this way. what i want to say is that when i came to san francisco, 24 years ago, to start as a legal director for the national centre for lesbian rights, i thought i was coming to be the legal director at the national centre for lesbian rights. i never thought i would be

there are experiences across the country of lgbtq people being tonight care because they are lgbtq. that it was andy's lifework. he understood if you can't access healthcare then none of the rights matter anyway. he was so committed to that work. it also resulted in us being hyperaware of discrimination. >> there is been a little bit more awareness and more work around discrimination. you're talking about lgbtq folks and low income folks of color is also quite profound in the way in which people experience healthcare and treatment, honestly not just healthcare but the layered issue. you went through an enormous tragic experience with andy. in some ways i was experiencing the book as both a testament or a very personal story that is also political because of the jobs he had also standing up for a legacy of randy's legacy about what he did and stood for. now you are at the human rights campaign and we are in the trump era. there has been a fairly frontal attack on much of what we accomplished in the administration. people say why did you find that guidance and wanted to file that liti

what's at stake is freedom for lgbtq americans, for equal rights, for civil rights, for voting rights, for clean air, clean water, for all the values you hold most dear. president trump did exactly what he said he was going to do. he has appointed someone who will not protect a woman's right to make decisions about her life, her health care, her reproductive freedom. this must not become the next justice on the supreme court. what that will take is all of us fighting as hard, as long as we can. [cheers and applause] our voices, our voices, our stories are what will make the difference in this nomination. we could do everything we can to fight back, to speak out, to never give up, to never give in. it's about our values. it's about our country. it's about the history of this nation. and we will fight. we will not give up. we will not grow weary. we will not give in. tell your story. tell everyone you know and love why you care so much. whether it's union rights or immigrant rights or muslim rights, fighting against this president's coercive and very harmful agenda to so many americans,

i am here with the national lgbtq task force. representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people across the country and we recognize this is a pivotal moment in our nation's history and that the future for all of us is at stake. lgbtq individuals in need of abortion, contraception, and nonwhite students who need a college education. tonight, trump had the opportunity to protect the rights of all of us by pushing forward a nominee that would interpret the constitution in a way that would interpret the rights for all of us but instead he put forward a nominee that puts forth a nominee that would legislation over the past half-century. liberty and justice for all. including my daughter. the importance of this election cannot be minimized. this person will have an impact on my little girl, my nine month old daughter and her children. as a black, lesbian mother, my right -- myat's rights have often been decided by the united states supreme court. the legislative and executive branches have not had the courage to this right th

equality of every lgbtq person all across this country. all of our fights. all of us appear today our fights are about the quality. there are about securing equality. equalityt extending and perhaps more important than ever before they are about detecting our equality. why does hrc care about daca recipients? what about the muslim band? or voting rights or a woman's right to choose? the simple truth is that the lgbtq community is as diverse as the fabric of this nation. we are muslims. we are jewish. we are women. latinx,lack, white, asian and native american. we are immigrants and we are people with disabilities. [applause] and when donald trump attacks one of us, he is going to keep hearing from every single one of us. [applause] because we are all stronger when we stand together. i want to share a quick story with you. last month i was in arizona leaders toh latinx discuss the intersection of lgbtq and let in the issues. one of the leaders i got to meet that day was killing you argue are. she's an organizer for unidos. as anved much of

just two of the growing number of hate crimes against london's growing lgbtq+ community.s attacked on the tube last october. they grabbed hold of me and got me in a headlock, they threatened to stab me and told me to apologise for being gay. my friends tried to get them off me. they held me in such a tight headlock i couldn't breath. really awful abuse they were shouting at us. many consider london to be one of the safest cities in the world to be gay, but according to a recent yougov and pride poll, half of lgbtq+ londoners have been victims of abuse over sexuality or gender identity, and according to figures from the met, that number is on the rise. in 2014, just over 1,100 hate crimes were reported in london against the lgbtq+ community. that has increased steadily and last year had doubled to 2,094. there is a spike in the summer months, but police say it is hard to attribute that to pride season. we do patrols in any areas where we think there might be people looking to abuse other people, homophobically. we have specially trained officers, hate crime liaison officer

why should you be able to discriminate against our lgbtq community?> well, the criticism as i understand it with respect to religious organizations is that the federal government funds religious organizations like catholic charities, like religious hospitals. it could risk the entirety of their funding if they refuse to agree with all of the equality act provisions, rather than just risking their funding in a narrow space that deals with lgbt service people they're providing services to. >> well, i'm just -- i'm just standing on the firm foundation of 1964 and saying if you're hiring a janitor and you can't discriminate on race, you shouldn't be able to discriminate on the status of who a person is or whom they love. >> i agree that you shouldn't be able to discriminate based on who they are, but in the recent ruling of masterpiece cakeshop vs. the colorado civil rights commission -- while the court punted on the fundamental questions in that case, 7-2, with kagan and breyer joining kennedy, they basically gave us some guidelines, that there is going

about protections for people with pre-existing conditions, about civil rights come a labor rights, lgbtq writes, environmental rights, now is the time to fight. now. now is the time for american people to make their voices heard loudly, clearly from one end of this country to the other . now is the time to demand a justice who will protect our health care, not strike it down. now is the time to demand a justice who recognizes a woman's personal liberty, her right to make her own health care choices . instead of one who will put the government between a woman and her doctor. for thehe time to fight freedoms and rights all americans deserve. that is what is at stake with this supreme court nomination. knew if president trump picked his nominee from the list that was written by special interest federal's list society and heritage foundation they would be overturned -- be prepared to strike down the health care law and overturn roe. those organizations are oficated to getting rid pharrell and getting rid of the affordable care act. has -- his goal of life is to get a supreme court to repeal

that, we're thinking about sub populations of communities of color, adults with disabilities, the lgbtq population and caregivers, and that concludes my community with the community needs assessment. >> supervisor cohen: real quick question about the community needs assessment. it was done on paper. >> it was done on paper, it was done on-line, we had community focus groups, and funt forum-- community forums, but it was done on-line. >> supervisor cohen: and how many people -- how many respondents were there to this survey? >> 1400. >> oh, okay, so it is a pretty good, decent snapshot. >> supervisor cohen: all right. thank you very much. we're going to take public comment, we're going to take action on this, and then, we'll take item three. >> is there anyone that would like to comment on item three, the dignity fund community needs assessment? all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor cohen: okay. i'd like to make a motion -- oh, excuse me, supervisor yee. i didn't see your name. >> supervisor yee: sherreen, and this is where i'm seeing some issues, and

the simple truth is that the lgbtq community is as diverse as the fabric of this nation.im, we are jewish, we are women, we are black, white, laninex, asian and native american. we are immigrants and we are people with disabilities. and when donald trump attacks one of us, he is going to keep hearing from every single one of us. because we are all stronger when we stand together. i want to share a quick story with you. last month i was in arizona meeting with latinex leaders to discuss the intersection between lgbt k and latinex issues. i got to meet elena aguilar. she lived much of her life as an undocumented immigrant. in 2016 she got to vote for the very first time and not only did she get to vote for the first woman presidential nominee, she also got to cast a vote for herself and she won her own race for the local school board. my friends, there is nothing more uniquely american than that story, and that's why i have never been more optimistic about our future. one of the silver linings of this moment, this dark moment that we are all living through today, is that ne

he's put at risk civil rights, labor rights, environmental rights, lgbtq rights. how do we know? because president trump

he has put in my mental rights, labor rights, lgbtq writes. how do we know?

and i don't know where lgbtq people are because the court won't say.cide my cases. so it's somewhere in justice kennedy's brooding, which i don't trust. no offense to justice kennedy, i just don't like justices that brood. and we're about to get to questions here. so here's the moral of the story, according to me. i found out that justice ginsberg is as big a fan of judge lerned hand as i am. for those of you who haven't heard of him, he's a judge who should have made it to the supreme court in new york. he gave a famous speech in world war ii. i am a naturalist of american citizens. when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. i discovered that when i was a third year law student at harvard in the lounge saying, what am i going to do with my life? you know, if you like baseball, you'll love being a lawyer. that's -- you got to like baseball. you have to like all those rules. i'm a football girl. i like, you get up, you get down, there's a lot of action. so when i came across that quote, i thought, that's what i'm supposed to do,

voting rights are at stake, lgbtq right are at stakes, the right to organize collectively is at stake. those are just a few. there's a lot more. families across the country are paying attention and they are going to be watching what president trump and individual members of this united states senate do right now. they are going to -- they are going to -- to want to know if their rights will be protected, will their freedoms and secure, will the supreme court put people like them first or will they stand with special interests and big business and the most extreme idealogues in our country? those are the questions people across this country will be asking. that is the conversation i expect we will have here in the united states senate. and that what president trump should be considering as he thinks about this issue, and hopefully as he slows this down and gives people across the country a chance to weigh in. mr. president, one issue i know women across the country will be focused on and asking about is their constitutionally protected right to control their own health care decisions a

what has he done to lgbtq?g his administration did was curtail the rights of transgender students in public schools. he doesn't even recognize pride month. something that practically every administration has done for years since before trump. and you know why he has to do it? because he's on very thin ice. number one, buys full of flaws and full of sins. yeah, nobody thought we were voting for john the baptist. but did you think you were going to vote for hugh hefner? but also because he knows he's a hypocrite. he's playing evangelical right. he's playing republican. >> no, he's not. >> he has a -- >> he's delivering on -- >> he's delivering on what they want. >> tariffs? tariffs? slobbering to putin? >> no, no, no. the promise to get rid of roe v. wade. the promise to do those value culture war issues they care about. but steve cortes, know this. there's a big difference between giving them the policy positions they want and delivering what they used to say they needed, which was a man of character, a woman of

if that happens, then lgbtq people are directly at risk.t is the foundation of individual liberty and our rights to bebe free, not just marriage equality, but free nro bedrooms, are really at risk. juan: talk about the family research council, which was very active when kavanaugh was nominated to the d c circucuit court of appeals back in 2006, advocating for him. their impact as well. >> they push for him very aggressively and cheered when after a lengthy, lengthy process he was eventually put on the court. juan: he had a lot of trouble in the confirmatition. >> and there were senators who felt he was not truthful. i think we'll take a very long time to look through this record . i think senatorsrs like senator durbin is that at the time that they were not sure he is been forthcoming deserve a full accounting of his record and of all of the decisions that he has he isn and the dissents written since then. that is when a take a long time. the closer you get to the election, the more the mcconnell standard should apply here. we should let th

andn had limited chances lgbtq people were locked firmly in the closet. we were in america that believed in opportunity. and slowly but increasingly, we opened those opportunities to more people. i want to tell you just want example. the black-white wealth gap -- it has been huge since we first started measuring it in the 1940's, but the civil rights movement of the 1960's stirred a determination to expand opportunity in this country. new laws that increase access to voting, to housing, to public accommodations had a real impact. the the mid-1960's through 1970's, just about a 15 year period, that black-white wealth gap shrank by 30%. there is your evidence that rights matter. >> we are going to leave this. you can find online at c-span.org. we will take you now to remarks by mexico's ambassador to the u.s. institute is a leading voice in washington and capitals around the world, promoting democracy, american leadership, and partnership with our allies for a secure, free, and prosperous future. our many friends and supporters who allow this were to go on.

justice on the supreme court will have an ability to impact labor rights, women's reproductive rights, lgbtq rights, voting rights, civil rights, environmental rights, and so much more for generations to come. we need to know how judge kavanaugh views those issues. on the issue of women's freedom to make her own health decisions, for example, yesterday, while shepherding judge kavanaugh around the capitol, vice president pence said he wants to see roe v. wade overturned. this isn't some ancient belief that the country has pushed aside. there are people in high parts of the government, the vice president yesterday, the president constantly, and so many others who want to repeal roe v. wade tomorrow. americans should not be complacent. the vast majority of americans want to see roe in place, but there is an active movement here now personified by judge kavanaugh's elevation, potential elevation -- hope it doesn't happen -- to the bench, and we have to be vigilant. vice president pence's remarks that he wants roe overturned was a prescient reminder that both the president and vice president hav

he has put in my mental rights, labor rights, lgbtq writes. how do we know? president trump repeatedly promised to nominate justices who would overturn roe v wade and would undermine our health care laws. this did not come out of the clear blue. president trump promised it. here's what he said. he would only take "pro-life judges" who would "automatically reverse roe v. wade." president trump actually went so far as to say that women should be punished for their health care choices. hissident trump also said, " judicial appointments would do the right thing unlike justice roberts on health care." that is president trump's litmus test and it could not be clearer. during the campaign, president trump commissioned a list of 25 people who would meet the litmus test, that were vetted and approved by two organizations that represent the heart right, the federalist society led by a man named leonard leo, whose goal in life has been to overturn roe v wade, and the heritage foundation, whose goal is to strike down health care law because they don't want the government

not only as a campaign manager for milk and watching how life has transformed for the lgbtq community but making sure everyone is safe and do it with such an even demeanor. impecable. i have admired you over the years and happy to bring you to the chamber to say thank you. i'll give you an opportunity to say a few remarks at this time and then afterwards invite you into the well so we can take a group shot. >> thank you. let me say i don't feel so calm this second. i have been before you dozens and dozens of times and walk in and it's not always the most pleasant experience, you know, but i know what your roles are, and what my role is, as a city department and city representative and we are both doing what we need to do to make things better for the residents and citizens of san francisco. today is so overwhelming to me. i go so far back that harvey rose was a city employee when i started working for harvey milk. and we had an intercom system, this is way the old days, sentrix system, one button at the end was the intercom, and when it went on, the aides had to push it, and this is h

we are on calls, we are at press conferences, we are speaking out for each other, the assaults on lgbtq rights, the assault and confrontation on voting rights, all of the anti-immigrant, you know, underpinnings of almost every policy that is being put out there right now. in a lot of ways, i mean, i have the luxury of being at the leadership conference which unidosus is a part of, a coalition of over 210 national and civil rights organizations and in some ways this is exactly the moment that we were called for because the level of solidarity and defense of fundamentally american values that we are kind of coming together on right now, it's not about one community, it's about who we are as a country. and that's why the family separation issue in many ways just crystallizes the ways in which we have to stand up when one part of our community is dehumanized in this way. we cannot stand for it because an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us and that's why we're rising to the challenge. >> so one of the challenges i feel like i've had and, i don't know, chad or maria teresa, maybe y

and cultural worker that moved to san francisco 14 years ago to participate in the vibrant arts and lgbtq community. i'm here today to tell you that many of the communities are in crisis and we need your help. from 2012 to 2017, 15% of total audiences attending national queer arts festival were displaced, moving from san francisco to alameda county. 2015 study found 600 -- out of 600 artists, 70% had been displaced from their home or workplace the proposed amendment will protect our communities and livelihood by ensuring that working artists like me have the resources to remain living and working in san francisco. as an individual artist representative participating in the hotel tax allocation coalition, i'm proud to have contributed to an inclusive and community-wide process that has been in dialogue with our two funding agencies, controller's office, city administrator's office as well as supervisor tang and peskin offices. we are a united front not to ask for new money, but re-establish voter intent by tying taxation to the arts. it will have a deep impact in our cultural communities,

another key issue i want to briefly mention today is the rights and freedoms of our lgbtq friends and he coworkers, our neighbors, our fellow americans. we have made progress, but there are many questions and cases in this area that will come before the supreme court in the coming years, whether it's questions regarding equality under the adoption laws for all couples, the rights of a couple to buy a wedding cake, whether transgender troops can serve their country, whether someone can continue being fired simply for being lgbtq, and more. so there is a whole lot at stake. and anyone who cares about this issue or anyone who simply believes that everyone in this country should have fundamental rights and freedoms no matter who they are or who they love should join us in rejecting judge kavanaugh. mr. president, that's not all. we've known from day one that president trump would be hostile towards our bed rom environmental laws -- bedrock environmental laws and he was eager to do the bidding of the coal and oil and gas industries, that his slogan of putting america first actually meant t

. >> we want someone standing up for immigrants, the lgbtq community, in a forceful way. >> earlier bothdidates failed to secure the party's backing by not capturing the 60% of votes needed. feinstein angered democrats when she urged patience with donald trump. a statement reads senator feinstein won by 2.1 million votes and earned 70% of the democratic vote in the california primary election. we're confident that a large majority of democrats will rerecollect senator feinstein in november. he says this endorsement is more than symbolic. >> you're seeing a more diverse, younger, and more liberal group of people within the democratic party who are asserting their voices. i think time will tell whether that trend carries forward. >> and this endorsement means the party will be spending more money to promote deleon in the fall election. >>> president trump is in finland for his closely watched summit with russian president vladimir putin this comes despite lawmakers calling for the president to cancel the meeting after the u.s. department of justice indicted 12 russian agents on friday. dem

what the lgbtq community is doing to give the student a proper funeral. >> reporter: this former student will have a funeral and will have dignity. one of his close friends at the queer resources center here created a go fund me page and raised $19,000 to finance that funeral. his friends say this tragedy could have been prevented with more care and resources. >> it's tragic that it had to take the death of dane for people to start saying, oh, it might be a problem after all, even though it's been shouted for years. >> reporter: inside the smallic >> he went from being this very recluse, very shy, wouldn't talk to anybody to really building upon friendships. >> reporter: she says the source of family and support was pulled away when the center closed for the summer, leaving dane with nowhere to go. he took his life on july 2nd. students we spoke with were shocked by the circumstance. >> it was heartbreaking. >> it's really sad that suicides are going up with the situation out here right now. >> reporter: the city college of san francisco says it has a new administration focused on addres

journalists who criticized him, and increasing persecution of ethnic and religious minorities and the lgbtq community. president trump had an opportunity to speak out on all of these issues to confront putin about these destabilizing and inhumane policies, but he chose not to. well, mr. president, if the president of the united states is not going to do it, congress must. the congress must make it clear that we accept the assessment of our intelligence community with regard to russian election meddling in our country and in other democracies. the congress must move aggressively to protect our election system from interference by russia or any foreign power and work closely with our democratic partners around the world to do the same. the congress must demand that the sanctions against russia that were passed last year be fully implemented. the congress must make it clear that we will not accept any interference with the ongoing investigation of special counsel mueller such as the offer of preemptive pardons or the firing of deputy attorney general rob rose enseen and the president -- rosens

this was something important to the lgbtq community. it is in our hemp historical context statement. we are treating it like let's just push it into the dustbin and demolish it and build four units. it is kind of offensive to be honest with you. the other thing that i am having a bit of a heartburn over is we asked for some alternatives, even a sketch of some alternatives six months ago angelo and behold, we get this dropped in our lap with nothing, you know, it is like the commission has no voice, ants that actually, i have the highest respect for staff, but i feel their pain, you know, i am at a loss for words. i absolutely will not support this. especially when the supervisor's office called me this morning and wanted to have a conversation around rezoning. we have to move this thing forward to. we cannot wait another 1212 weeks for conversation. come on. >> we were all here six months ago listening to the commission's input and ideas. i think they are very constructive. we did a quick study the following two weeks and if you kept th
