Issue Position: LGBTQ

Issue Position

Tim is an ally and a supporter of the LGBTQ community and of LGBTQ rights. "I have learned from my daughter and her generation the importance of understanding the intersectional nature of discrimination. In order to move towards a more just, inclusive, and flourishing society, we need understand and address the forces at play." Tim is proud to be a candidate on whom the LGBTQ community can count to fight for comprehensive anti-discrimination statutes, long overdue in Pennsylvania.

Tim is proud to serve as Mayor of Swarthmore, where discrimination in housing, employment, or use of public accommodations on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identification has been banned since 2006. He is adamantly opposed to "bathroom bill" legislation, which are attempts to enact state-sanctioned discrimination against trans people, who are already vulnerable to bullying, abuse, and violence.
