          findings:

          1.Our great state and nation strive to promote the egalitarian  
            principles of equality and justice where all people have  
            inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit  
            of happiness.

            strengths.

          3.Our great state protects its residents from discrimination and  
            harassment based on actual or perceived race, color, religion,  
            ancestry, ethnicity, national origin, physical or mental  
            ability, medical condition, sex, including gender identity or  
            expression, or sexual orientation.

          4.LGBT people have made important and lasting contributions to  
            our great state and nation in every field of endeavor,  
                                                                CONTINUED

            national life.

          5.LGBT Americans, their families and friends, and all those  
            committed to justice and equality celebrate, during the month
