Recently, Congresswoman Matsui took a stand for equality and participated in the third annual NOH8 On The Hill photo event. Congresswoman Matsui joined nearly 70 Members of Congress in posing with NOH8's iconic tattoo, in support of marriage equality and equal rights for all Americans.

"The freedom to marry is a fundamental right," said Congresswoman Matsui. "I participated in this year's NOH8 on the Hill campaign because I believe every American deserves respect and equal treatment under the law. It is time we take a stand for equality, promote compassion and prevent discrimination."
