Latest Action · April 9, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 1162 is a congressional resolution supporting Glisten's 2026 Day of Silence, an annual event that brings attention to bullying and discrimination against LGBTQI+ students in K-12 schools. The resolution recognizes the documented experiences of LGBTQI+ youth, citing data showing that 58 percent of LGBTQI+ students report verbal harassment at school and 67 percent feel unsafe because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The resolution calls on states, cities, and local school districts to adopt laws and policies that prohibit bullying and discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or implementation timeline, and it does not create binding requirements but instead encourages schools nationwide to create safer and more inclusive learning environments for all students, particularly LGBTQI+ youth.
