Issue Position: Equal Treatment for All Pennsylvanians

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Fighting for LGBT rights has always been a passion in the First District, and it's one I share. As a founding member of the General Assembly's Bipartisan LGBT Equality Caucus, I've worked to educate my colleagues and advance laws that ensure fairness for all citizens. I've sponsored legislation to prohibit discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation, and inheritance tax exemptions for domestic partners. I am also proud to have been a leader in promoting a constitutional amendment to legalize same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania prior to the court's landmark decision.
