Authoritarians thrive when truth is hidden and voices are silenced. That’s why we fight back, organize, and speak out. If democracy dies in darkness, fascism thrives in it.

Following the departure of our Vice Chair, we are looking for a volunteer to serve as the new Vice Chair. Nominees must be members of the PRIDE Caucus. If you are interested in serving, contact us.

Heinous.

The Executive Committee has received notice that Mira Jade has stepped down as Vice Chairwoman of the Delaware Democratic Party PRIDE Caucus for personal reasons.

In the middle of the night, spineless Republicans struck a deal to rip healthcare from LGBTQ+ people, disabled folks, and working families. The “Big Beautiful Bill” is nothing but cruelty and chaos for everyday Americans.

What is going on with the RD20 special election??? @capegazette.bsky.social @spotlightdelaware.bsky.social @pridedeldems.bsky.social @coasttv.bsky.social @miltondelaware.bsky.social

56 years ago at Stonewall, queer and trans people, many Black and brown, said enough. It didn’t end the fight — it sparked a movement. What we’ve won can still be taken away. Not just in June. Every day, we fight.

Democrats need to block the prohibition on Gender-affirming care coverage since it now requires a 60 vote threshold in the Senate!

The Delaware Democratic Party PRIDE Caucus is co-sponsoring with the ACLU of Delaware and many other LGBTQ organizations in the state, to gather on Saturday to review this decision, what it means, and next steps. Please sign up to attend.

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status." SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status" Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

Reactions from the ACLU on Skrmetti, line with my thinking: The decision is a little more limited and leaves many rulings against anti-transgender laws in tact. However, it also creates huge loopholes to target transgender people, and the medical care ban will cause horror.

Statement from the Executive Committee, Delaware Democratic Party PRIDE Caucus, on the Supreme Court’s Decision in United States v. Skrmetti click the link below for the full text of our statement. drive.google.com/file/d/14hlR...

The Supreme Court just turned its back on trans kids. We won’t. The National Federation of Stonewall Democrats is standing up, speaking out, and fighting back. Our message is clear: Trans youth deserve dignity, care, and a future without fear. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #SCOTUS #ProtectTransYouth

No kings. No fascists. No going backward. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈✊ Almost 250 years after 1776, we’re ready to defend democracy again. #NoKings #PrideInDemocracy #StonewallDemocrats

Hospitals shutting down care in preemptive compliance with the Trump administration is cowardice. All this will do is move care to individual providers where trans youth will not have access to large interdisciplinary teams. It won’t stop care, but it will hurt patients.

The final draft of the Delaware Democratic Party Platform has been released ahead of next weekends State Convention. The Pride Caucus is particularly pleased with Plank 9, the LGBTQ Bill of Rights. @natstonewalldems.bsky.social

Here in Delaware, we believe that the right to marry the person you love should be fundamental. Thanks to the passage of Senate Bill 100 on the Senate Floor yesterday, we’re one step closer to aligning our state constitution with that ideal. @pridedeldems.bsky.social @capegazette.bsky.social

56 years after Stonewall, our fight is far from over. From school boards to the Senate floor — and yes, even within our own party — LGBTQ+ rights are under attack in every corner of this country. #Pride2025 #Democrats #Democrats #StonewallDemocrats

This Memorial Day, we honor all who gave their lives in service — including LGBTQ+ heroes who served with courage, even when forced to hide who they were. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 #MemorialDay #StonewallDemocrats

Trans Americans who serve in our military are brave, honorable, and selfless. The Trump admin — led by a draft-dodging coward — wants to ban them for who they are. Disgraceful. This isn’t about readiness, it’s about bigotry.

We fight back. We build power. Here’s how: Join your local Stonewall chapter, donate, call your reps protest & testify, and ight disinfo, lift up queer voices! This isn’t a moment. It’s a movement.

100 days of attacks. Trump’s return = a brutal assault on LGBTQ+ rights: Banned trans troops Stripped health protections Banned books & queer history Blocked asylum seekers Trying to erasetrans identities They’re legislating hate. We’re not backing down.

Let the warning ride forth once more—tyranny is at our door. From Boston’s Old North Church to every statehouse targeting our rights, the alarm is sounding. Bans on healthcare, attacks on drag, erasure from classrooms—this is the new face of tyranny. Queer people won’t back down. We rise.

Lol what? "Entire men's teams and women's teams are turning trans" They are obsessed with trans people. Utterly obsessed to the point of mouth frothing madness.

Our chair, Kristine Read, was interviewed for this new startup newsletter from Delaware. Very appropriately, it dropped on Transgender Day of Visibility. open.substack.com/pub/thedelaw...

Trump’s incompetent administration is back at it—this time with RFK Jr.’s full-blown conspiracy circus—gutting healthcare and endangering LGBTQ+ lives. Between Signal-Gate scandals and anti-science nonsense, it’s clear: the MAGA playbook is chaos, cruelty, and cluelessness. #StonewallDemocrats
