Issue Position: Everyone Deserved the Same Rights

Issue Position

As a gay man, I have faced discrimination. As a civil rights attorney, I have helped people about to lose the family home, a loved one's inheritance or custody of children because gay men and lesbians aren't treated equally under the law. But we can't and shouldn't have to protect our community one family at a time. As one of the main advocates of our LGBT civil rights in Olympia, I am proud to be hard at work on changing the law so that all families are valued and respected equally; to end discriminatory policing; to make sure that communities of color can participate equally in our elections system; to guarantee equal pay for equal work and paid family leave; and to make sure that people of limited means have access to our civil justice system.
