My Position on GLBT Rights
Nov.7 - Vote ‘NO’ on Prop. 107
I believe in full equality for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals regardless of their sexual orientations or perceived gender identity or presentation.
I would call for the immediate repeal of federal and state Defense of Marriage Acts.
I would do away with the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, thus allowing our gay and lesbian service men and women to serve their country openly and proudly.
I oppose the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment and all state constitutional amendments seeking to define marriage as a bond between one man and one woman. I would do away with all special benefits and privileges granted to individuals on the basis of their marital status. I would like all state governments and localities to get out of the business of granting marriage licenses and allow people to enter into contractual relationships to order their lives as they see fit, but so long as the government continues to grant marriage licenses to heterosexual couples, I believe gay couples are entitled to the “equal protection” of the laws and should be allowed to obtain government issued marriage licenses as well.
I do not believe the government should require religious institutions to perform marriage ceremonies that go against their church doctrine.
I oppose all laws that discriminate against gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered Americans and feel they deserve full equality under the law.
Vote ‘NO’ in Arizona on November 7 against Proposition 107.
[ Historical Note: Proposition 107 was defeated on November 7, 2006. ]
