Friend -- One of the most memorable moments of my presidency was one year ago today, on a warm summer night, when we lit up the White House in the colors of the rainbow flag. It was hours after the Supreme Court had ruled that love is love, and all marriages would be equal under the law. It was a powerful symbol here at home, where our fellow Americans could finally feel accepted and whole in a country that recognized the love they share. It was also a beacon for LGBT people here and around the world that we are still fighting for the fullness of equality. When you divide the world into "us" and "them," and denigrate and express hatred because of skin color or faith or sexual orientation, you feed something very dangerous. And so we have to keep on pushing. We have to keep pushing to make sure our LGBT brothers and sisters are not attacked, or even killed, for just being who they are. We have to keep pushing to make sure jobs are not being denied and people aren't being fired because of their sexual orientation. We have to keep pushing to make sure every single member of our American family feels welcomed and valued and loved. So while we can celebrate incredible victories like we did on June 26th, 2015, we also have to remember that history doesn't just travel forward. It can go backwards if we don't work hard. We can't be complacent when it comes to securing the gains we've made. And that means we have to vote, because we have the opportunity this November to keep history moving in the right direction -- can you chip in $3 or more to help us make sure that happens?
