Issue Position: LBGTQ+ Rights and Equality

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Our current lack of policies protecting the rights of our LBGTQ+ community members is unacceptable. We must fight and demand superior coverage in our healthcare systems, protection against discrimination in the workplace, and equal rights in our criminal justice system.

This applies doubly to trans people of color who are discriminated against at an even higher rate. Putting these protections into law and enforcing them is the only way to halt this crisis.
