Issue Position: Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

Issue Position

I am proud that Massachusetts has led the country on equality, but I also recognize there is more to do before equality is truly achieved. I am a steadfast defender of the current anti-discrimination law, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity in places of public accommodation. We need to advance protections to ensure that all people are treated fairly, with dignity and respect. I am especially concerned for LGBTQ children who are pressured and bullied to not accept themselves. I support a ban on "conversion therapy" practiced on minors, which all major medical communities have discredited. I appreciate diversity, and I am committed to building a stronger and more inclusive community.
