Issue Position
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Ann believes all of us deserve equal protection and access to benefits, regardless of sexual orientation. Under current law, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons are discriminated against by legal protections and benefits that are tied to marriage laws. Illinois parentage laws also fail to provide the same legal protection for lesbian and gay parents as they do for heterosexual parents.
Ann will support efforts to eliminate these barriers and ensure that all persons may participate equally in our society regardless of their sexual orientation.
