Issue Position: Norton Fends-Off Repeated Attempts Against D.C.'s Marriage Equality Law

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Marriage Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

After the District passed its marriage equality law, Norton was successful against six Senate attempts to repeal the law. She is a strong advocate of equal rights for our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents, who often experience discrimination. Despite differing views on marriage equality throughout the country, Norton feels strongly that Congress must respect the laws of the District, as they do the laws of other jurisdictions.
