No one should be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love. As the first openly gay member of Congress from New Hampshire, I am committed to fighting for the dignity and equality of all Americans.
As a Co-Chair of the LGBTQ Equality Caucus, I will fight to get the Equality Act signed into law, which would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. I will also continue to stand up to nationwide efforts to roll-back the progress made by the LGBTQ community. America's strength and potential is rooted in our nation’s diversity, and it is time that our laws reflect that.
