Expand protections for LGBTQIA+ people of color and end the criminalization of LGBTQIA+ identities.
Occurrences
Evidence
The Congresswoman’s recent votes include a 05/20/2026 Nay on H.R. 2616, the PROTECT Kids Act, and a Yea on the motion to recommit. The page is maintained as her current votes list and shows no LGBTQ-rights enactment in the lookback window.
H.Res.1058 was introduced on 02/11/2026 and the latest action is referral to committee; the tracker shows the bill’s status as Introduced, with no House agreement recorded.
Assessments
The record shows Ocasio-Cortez taking pro-LGBTQIA+ rights positions, including opposing restrictive legislation and supporting a Transgender Bill of Rights resolution, but the cited federal actions did not enact expanded protections for LGBTQIA+ people of color or end criminalization of LGBTQIA+ identities. H.Res.1058 remained only introduced and referred to committee, so this is a serious effort without delivery of the promised federal outcome.
