Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson
In advance of the Supreme Court rulings on same-sex marriage, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas and Rep. Marc Veasey of fort Worth participated in a NOH8 photo shoot at the Capitol. They were the only two Texas congress members to be photographed for the equality campaign.
Each photo was printed with a quote from the representative. Here’s what the two North Texas reps had to say:
Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson: “Discrimination in any realm is still inequality. I stand with NOH8 because we share a vision that America was founded on the promise of equality for all. I am here to continue to fight on all fronts because I know at the end change will follow.”
Rep. Marc Veasey: “I am proud to stand in solidarity with members of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus and many of my colleagues in the NO H8 Campaign. The campaign embodies the pursuit of equality for all Americans no matter their age, race, religion or sexual orientation.”
Rep. Marc Veasey
