John,
During the recent hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee, U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono questioned Amy Coney Barrett about LGBTQ issues. Barrett replied:
“I have no agenda. I do want to be clear that I have never discriminated on the basis of sexual preference and would not discriminate on the basis of sexual preference.”
This is a blatant lie - Barrett is going to do everything she can to use her new position on the Supreme Court to demolish equality, attack the trans community and dismantle LGBTQ rights. We know this because of her anti-LGBTQ activism, including serving as a trustee for private schools that barred the children of LGBTQ parents and discriminated against openly LGBTQ teachers.
Her confirmation is a massive disappointment, but there’s still time to defend LGBTQ rights. Victory Institute is going to train a new wave of openly LGBTQ U.S. Senators, Members of Congress and state legislators who will pass pro-equality legislation at all levels of government. We’re working to appoint the first openly LGBTQ Supreme Court Justice who will block Barrett’s bigoted votes. Keep our programs going – donate to power equality and power the rainbow wave today!
Thanks again for standing up for equality and against bigots like Barrett,
LGBTQ Victory Institute
