Issue Position: LGBTQ

Issue Position

All Americans are entitled to be treated equally under the law, regardless of who they love and how they identify.
How I will fight on LGBTQ issues:
Employment Non-Discrimination Act to ensure that LGBTQ workers cannot be discriminated against in the workplace and hiring process.
Protecting the Adoption Tax Credit, which enables same-sex couples to adopt and start a family, and fight against discriminatory practices in the adoption process.
Ensure efforts that enable transgender Americans to change their gender on government identification documents and allow transgender Americans to use the public facilities that fit their gender identities.
Require all private and public facilities that receive state grant money to abide by Illinois anti-discrimination laws as a condition to continued funding.
Support funding programs for LGBTQ homeless youth, mental health, and HIV prevention, testing and treatment.
