Issue Position: LGBTQ Equality

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

In the Senate, I'll fight for equal rights and equal protection under the law for all Americans, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

I will defend marriage equality and the right of gay couples to adopt children.

I will support the Equality Act and vote to expand Federal anti-discrimination statutes to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation.

I will oppose efforts to re-impose the ban on military service by openly gay Americans. Any American's desire to serve and defend their country should be honored without discrimination.

I'll support strengthening anti-bullying programs for LGBTQ youth, and I will defend and support the safety and human rights of transgender Americans.

The LGBTQ community will be able to count on me to stand with them as a strong and outspoken ally.
