Photo Friday: Chuck Schumer “You truly are my brothers and sisters”

This week’s photograph is of Senator Chuck Schumer, taking a (short) break from health reform, to address a group of local leaders in Washington, DC, in support of equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Americans, at an event hosted by the Victory Fund.

The District of Columbia is set to introduce and pass a bill supporting equality, entitled the “Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Equality Act Amendment Act of 2009” next week.

Here are some views from the event, hosted at the new W Hotel, Washington, DC. Enjoy.
