I will be persistent in the fight for marriage equality and protection against discrimination until it is the law in all 50 states. This includes equal treatment of LGBT couples who hope to adopt a foster child.
I believe that no one should face discrimination or harassment based on their gender identity or sexual orientation, and that no child should face hostility in school because of their sexuality.
I also believe that our country has a role to play to help protect the rights of LGBT people around the world, and will use my voice in Congress to stand for LGBT rights.
