Issue Position: LGBTQ

Issue Position

In 2015 the US Supreme Court finally recognized the constitutional right of every adult to marry the person that they love. However, the fight for equality is far from over. Everyday, the rights of our brothers and sisters in the LGBTQ community come under attack. The far-right and their representatives in the state legislature have proposed disturbing bills that seek to legalize discrimination. They are determined to legitimize bigotry. That type of lawmaking has no place in a modern progressive society.

As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." We need leaders who are not afraid to stand up to the far-right's agenda and as your representative I pledge to do just that. I will strongly oppose any legislation that permits discrimination against LGBTQ individuals and will support legislation to protect the rights of LGBTQ Coloradans.
