As part of my efforts in Congress, I have fought for the equal treatment of all people, particularly the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community. In its most recent scorecard, I earned a 100% rating from the Human Rights Campaign for my record on issues important to the LGBT community. I am also a member of the LGBT Equality Caucus, which is co-chaired by Congress members Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin, and Jared Polis. The mission of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus is to promote lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality. This Caucus works for equal rights, the repeal of discriminatory laws, the elimination of hate-motivated violence, and the improved health and well-being for all
regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.
