Issue Position: Equal Rights

Issue Position

Full equality for all, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, is a basic matter of civil rights, and anything short of full equality is unacceptable. The state's Civil Unions Act was the right direction, but it should be viewed as but a small step toward full marriage equality. As State Representative Will Guzzardi will push for full marriage equality and comprehensive legislation to ensure all families in our community are treated equally, protected from discrimination, and respected.

What Will's going to do:

Advocate for a comprehensive bill granting full marriage equality to all Illinois couples regardless of gender or sexual orientation

Encourage employers to offer health plans for spouses regardless of gender or sexual orientation

Partner with community organizations to fight disinformation on the ground
