The Summer 2016 Victory Congressional Internship application is open!
The Victory Institute's Victory Congressional Internship and Victory Congressional Fellowship are developing the next generation of out public leaders. Each summer, the Victory Congressional Internship brings outstanding LGBT college students to Washington, D.C., for an intensive leadership program, including:
An eight week Congressional internship with a member of the LGBT Equality Caucus or an LGBT-friendly member of U.S. Congress to learn firsthand about the federal legislative process
An educational and leadership development program to learn about the legislative process and careers in policy-making
In December, students will attend the Victory Institute's annual international conference for three days of training, skills building, networking and discussion alongside hundreds of openly LGBT leaders in government, politics, advocacy, business and community organizations.
The Victory Congressional Internship prepares young LGBT people to become informed decision-makers and influential leaders who can change their communities and our world.

Is being a good activist enough to get a fellowship? Or does the student have to put out?
Seems Gerry Studds was born too soon.
Victory over what?
Why is this even allowed?
These are “The Days of Lot”.
Why is this even allowed?
Because a sizable faction of the ruling class says so. I expect they are after more than just money.
So one is eligible for an internship based on how one has sex? Ohhhhh...kaaaaayyyyy....
These people need to GET A LIFE! One where they are not
centered constantly on their “sitting down places”.
Getting somewhere “by the seat of your pants” used to mean
something totally different. As did “gay”. :o(
Exactly. Sounds like the pervs are bringing in some fresh meat, they need interns they know would be receptive to their advances.
Impy, politics is going to pervert you as bad as my family did to me.

Illinois Republican becomes first in party to back LGBT rights bill
By Ben Kamisar
Rep. Bob Dold has become the the first Republican lawmaker to cross party lines and back equal rights legislation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
Dold (R-Ill.), who is facing a tough reelection race in a swing district this year, announced he is backing the Equality Act in a statement shared first with The Hill.
“Illinois has a long and proud history of fighting for equal rights, and I am proud to continue this tradition by supporting the Equality Act. Engraved on the front of the Supreme Court is the phrase ‘equal justice under the law,’ but as long as any Americans can be legally discriminated against, there is not equal justice in this country,” Dold said.
“Congress must act to ensure that all Americans, including the LGBT community, are protected equally from discrimination under federal law, just as they already are in my home state of Illinois.”
Dold added that while the bill is “not perfect in its current form, it marks an important first step in the process of crafting a bipartisan bill that ensures equal rights for all Americans while also fully protecting the religious freedoms our Constitution guarantees.”
The Illinois Republican’s endorsement of the legislation comes as he seeks to hold onto his seat in one of the few swing districts left in the country. He first won election in 2010, only to be unseated by Brad Schneider (D). Schneider served in Congress for two years before losing to Dold in 2014 but is mounting a comeback bid.
Unless his district has been "Mecca'd" by the gays, and he's more like 10% gay in his district, in which case they'll make sure they're served first, and always, and to the perpetual exclusion and frustration of anybody who thinks different .... like, f'rinstance, real Americans who aren't perverted.
A 10% bloc-voting minority of any sort will get you that kind of frustration.
