Dear Michael
Please share my total joy about this wonderful news with all of my NursesPUSH colleagues. This is truly a day for celebration. You and your colleagues have been instrumental in raising the consciousness and educating your faculty and fellow student colleagues about the needs, rights and contributions of our LGBT students. Thank you!!!

Today, something extraordinary happened. Love conquered hate. After more than a decade, the inclusive hate crimes bill we've fought so hard for has been signed by the president and sealed in law.

**This is the first time ANY federal equality measure protecting LGBT
rights has become law. The very first time. And it is the first federal
law to /explicitly protect/ transgender people.* It is a touchstone in
the movement, a triumph of what is right. Things will
never be the same.
