Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy group, announced on Monday that it will present its 2007 National Equality Award to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the organization's Eleventh Annual National Dinner in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 6. Speaker Pelosi will also be delivering the dinner's keynote address.
"We could not be more excited about recognizing Speaker Pelosi's efforts on behalf of GLBT Americans by presenting her with the National Equality Award and having her as keynote speaker," Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese said in a release. "We are privileged to have such a luminous national figure stand shoulder to shoulder with the Human Rights Campaign and the entire GLBT community in support of equality at our National Dinner. Speaker Pelosi continues to lead our country toward the realization of equality for all Americans and has proven that under her leadership the GLBT community will remain an important part of the American family."
