Issues: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

When Rob moved to Oregon in 1992, he joined the fight to defeat Measure 9, a ballot measure which would have required schools to teach children that being LGBTQ is "abnormal, wrong, unnatural, and perverse." Oregon has made great advances in securing the rights of LGBTQ people since the 1990's, and Rob has worked hard to protect these advances from all challenges, while working to expand rights to communities that are still marginalized by current laws. In 2017, Rob passed HB 2673, making it easier for transgender and nonbinary Oregonians to change their government-issued identity documents to reflect who they are. In 2019, Rob supported Adi's Act (SB 52), which addresses teen suicide, especially among LGBTQ youth.
