Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Issues
I support same-sex marriage and/or civil unions;
I oppose the Defense of Marriage Act;
I support expanding hate-crime legislation to prohibit lesbo- and homophobic and transphobic hate speech;
I oppose the military’s “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy;
The U.S. should grant asylum and a path to citizenship for persons who have experienced discrimination in their own countries because they are lesbian, gay or transgender;
I support the rights of lesbians to create, define, protect and enjoy woman-born-woman only spaces, organizations and activities.
Allow immigration and provide a path to citizenship for the partners of gay and lesbian persons, just as foreign-born wives and husbands of U.S. citizens are allowed to immigrate and to pursue citizenship.
