The LGBTQ+ Victory Fund is a national non-partisan organization dedicated to building political power for the LGBTQ+ community by electing openly LGBTQ+ candidates to public office at all levels of government. Founded in 1991, it provides financial, strategic, and technical support to pro-equality candidates and helps recruit and train potential leaders for campaigns. The organization supports candidates who are out members of the LGBTQ+ community, are pro-choice, support transgender rights, and have a viable plan to win their elections.
What a joke! He is nothing more than a little “yes man!”
Seriously?
Congrats!!!
Very sad, how much did the Victory Award cost West Hollywood. What special interest group reached into its development fund and paid Hang to receive the award?
Reminds me of when Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize just a few months into his first term. He hadn’t done anything yet!
Was thinking the same thing!
Participation trophy
Good grief.
Oh please!
