The 17th annual Delaware Stonewall PAC Summer Fundraiser will honor Delaware Sen. Sarah McBride, Sen. Marie Pinkney and Rep. Eric Morrison on Aug. 21 from 4-6 p.m. at Lavender Fields in Milton, Del.
Stonewall PAC supports lawmakers who are committed to passing pro-LGBTQ legislation. Almost all of the money raised is given to support the candidates, according to a July 10 statement.
“We honor them not only for their trailblazing victories but their continuing efforts to ensure equal protection under the law for all,” the statement said.
Since the PAC’s beginning, the goal has been to advocate for and protect LGBTQ rights in the Delaware Legislature, according to the statement.
“When we began, non-discrimination and marriage equality in Delaware were non-existent and the thought of an LGBTQ+ person being elected was no more than a pipe dream,” Stonewall President Peter Schott said in the statement. “We set those goals as our mission, and now we are so proud to say that we have accomplished that. We still have a lot more to do, and Stonewall as well as our honorees will work toward accomplishing those goals.”
