AG Raoul recognized Pride Month and highlighted his office’s continued work to defend the rights of all LGBTQ+ Illinoisans against unlawful attacks by the federal government.

“As we mark Pride Month, I want to be clear that in Illinois, we protect all individuals’ rights to live as their authentic selves and be free from discrimination each day, no matter who they are or who they love. The Trump administration has relentlessly targeted LGBTQ+ individuals by attempting to end lawful medical care, cut off federal funds to programs and services that support vulnerable LGBTQ+ youth, and force states to discriminate against their own residents. I will continue to fight back against illegal federal actions that infringe upon individuals’ rights and undermine our state’s laws and values that support the LGBTQ+ community and do nothing to improve the lives of everyday Americans.” -AG Raoul
