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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Recent official voting record shows Ocasio-Cortez opposing a House bill that would restrict school treatment of gender identity issues, but it does not show any enacted federal protection for LGBTQIA people of color or decriminalization of LGBTQIA identities.

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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The clearest federal pro-protection action tied to this issue remains an introduced resolution, not a enacted or advanced measure, so the promise is still unfulfilled at the federal level.

04/29/2025 - Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria [D-NY-14]*

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Congress.gov records Ocasio-Cortez as an original Equality Act cosponsor. The bill would expand federal nondiscrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, but its recorded status remains Introduced, with committee referrals on April 29, 2025. This documents concrete effort without enactment or delivery of the broader decriminalization commitment. No qualifying development was located for October 15–17, 2026. The pending effort supports unresolved rather than never; no campaign-term deadline was supplied.

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.
