What questions do you want answered on the debate stage?
LGBTQ Americans deserve to know where the candidates stand on our
issues, and more importantly, we deserve to be heard. The Presidential
and Vice Presidential debates must include questions about LGBTQ
Americans, about the current administration's record on LGBTQ
issues, and how the next administration will address our issues and
advance equality and inclusion. What is your question?
