California is on its way to officially recognize June as LGBT Pride Month.

加州正打算正式承認六月為同志驕傲月。

On Tuesday, the Senate Committee on Governmental Organization unanimously
approved AB 2969 in a bipartisan 9-0 vote.

參議院政府組織委員會在星期二以涉及兩黨的 9-0 投票結果一致通過了 AB 2969。

LGBT PRIDE MONTH BILL

“California has the largest LGBT population of any state in the union, and
the state is home to over 40 LGBT Pride celebrations each year,” Assemblyman
Evan Low, the bill’s author, said in a statement. “We have codified many
other cultural celebrations into statute; it’s time to add Pride to that
list.”



Nationally, June generally is recognized as LGBT Pride Month. LA Pride hosted
the nation’s first, permitted Pride Parade on June 28, 1970.

國家上來說，六月一般被公認為同志驕傲月。LA 同志驕傲主辦了全國首個被允許的驕傲
遊行在一九七零年六月二十八日時。

The proposed legislation, which passed the Assembly in May, moves to the
Senate floor.

擬議的法案於眾議院在五月時通過，而進入了參議院階段。

Low also two other queer bills in the Senate. One would require California to
apologize for discrimination and persecution of queer people, and the second
would classify conversion therapy as consumer fraud.

Low 在參議院還有兩個同志法案。第一個是要求加州為歧視和迫害同志道歉，第二個是將
矯正治療視為消費者欺詐。

LGBT CAUCUS

The bill is co-authored by the California Legislative LGBT Caucus, where Low
is chair.

這項法案是由加州立法機構的同志委員會共同撰寫，其中 Low 在此擔任主席。

The Caucus was established in 2002 to present a forum for the State
Legislature to discuss issues that affect LGBT Californians and to further
equality and justice for all people.

該委員會在二零零二年成立，為州立法機構提供一個場所來討論影響到加州同志的議題，
並促進所有人進一步的平等與公正。

California the first state in the country to recognize an official caucus of
state legislators who identify as LGBT.

加州是全國第一個正式承認州立法機構中同志委員會的州別。
