Read Kamala Harris’s Just-Released ‘LGBTQ+ Plan to Provide Equality and Dignity for All’

Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) released a plan for LGBTQ Equality ahead of a CNN/HRC LGBTQ Town Hall set for Thursday night. LGBTQ plans were also released on Thursday morning by fellow candidates Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren.

Wrote the Harris campaign in the introduction: “Kamala has been a champion for LGBTQ+ equality throughout her career. When most Democrats were on the sidelines, Kamala stood with the community by fighting for marriage equality. As San Francisco District Attorney, she created one of the first LGBTQ+ hate crimes units in the nation and as Attorney General she helped to defeat the gay/trans panic defense used by perpetrators of hate crimes. There is no one in this race who has a longer or deeper record on this issue.”

“Kamala is committed to bringing this same leadership to the White House to ensure that LGBTQ+ people are able to live proudly and openly, without fear of discrimination,” the campaign continued. “Right now, far too many members of the LGBTQ+ community experience unequal treatment—from the worker who is fired for who she loves to the trans student whose school refuses him access to the appropriate bathroom. Discrimination is wrong, and Kamala will fight tirelessly to end it.”
