Issue Position: LGBTQ+ New Mexicans

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Michelle has proudly stood with LGBTQ+ New Mexicans by ensuring equity in health care delivery and visitation rights as a cabinet secretary, co-chairing the NM Unites for Marriage Campaign in 2013 to protect marriage equality, and helping push the New Mexico Legislature and governor to pass a ban on harmful conversion therapy practices in our state.

As Governor Michelle will continue to be an ally by passing and enforcing non-discrimination measures, creating stronger programs and laws to combat bullying and harassment in NM schools, and signing a law that will remove barriers to transgender New Mexicans changing their birth certificates. Michelle will support a culture that values diversity, fights discrimination, and supports justice and equality.
