John,
More than 7% of all American adults in the United States identify as LGBTQ+ β including 17% of adults younger than 30. Still, only 2.4% of lifetime federal judgeships are held by openly LGBTQ+ people.
Donald Trump appointed dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ judges. Hundreds of anti-gay bills were introduced into state legislatures in 2023 β everything from censoring books and drag shows to bans on medically necessary health care for transgender people.
We still have a long way to go to truly make the judiciary a representative body. Sign now to President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer: Nominate and confirm more LGBTQ+ Americans to the federal bench.
Hateful and homophobic federal judges donβt represent the vast majority of Americans who are supportive of the LGBTQ+ community or the millions of Americans who are part of it. Our courts are not reflective of the society they serve.
Sign the petition now to demand that President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer nominate and confirm more LBGTQ+ judges.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
