John,

 

Despite the wave of unprecedented attacks against the LGBTQ+ community, the percentage of Americans who support marriage equality has reached an all-time high.

 

A recent Grinnell College National Poll found that 74% of Americans believe same-sex marriage should be a guaranteed right – including a majority of Republicans.

 

Marriage equality is not a partisan issue, but Senate Republicans are making it into one.

 

One of those Republicans who refuses to stand up for our rights is my opponent, Mike Crapo – our senator for nearly a quarter of a century.

 

Senate Republicans have already admitted they plan to push for a national abortion ban if they retake the majority in November. Marriage equality and other LGBTQ+ rights may well be next.

 

As a single gay dad, I worry about what the GOP’s threats mean for my family.

 

It’s only been in the last 5-10 years that single gay adoptions came to be accepted, opening up thousands of loving homes to children languishing in foster care. Now I have to worry not only about how a rollback of my civil rights will impact me, but how it may hurt my boys, as well.

I previously served as a foster parent, always volunteering to take older kids because that is the greatest need. That’s how Parker and Robert came into my life.

 

When I learned that a family was planning to adopt Parker but not his older brother, I fought like hell to keep them together – and adopted them both.

 

I refused to let my boys be separated then, and I will not let our family be split apart now.

 

We know what Republicans are plotting, John, that’s why we CANNOT allow them to retake the majority in November.

 

I am the ONLY openly gay Senate candidate on the ballot November 8th. I need your help to defeat Republican Mike Crapo and fight for ALL of our civil rights. Will you pitch in now to stand up to hate?

 

I am ready to flip this U.S. Senate seat and go to Washington to stand up for those often left behind.

 

With our civil rights under attack, it’s more important than ever that we elect representatives from marginalized communities to stand up for equal rights.

 

I’m ready to fight for my community, and for the rights of ALL people to live their lives freely without government interference in their private affairs. Will you join me?

 

- David

 
 
         

David Roth is a single, gay dad running to flip a U.S. Senate seat in Idaho. His opponent is an extremist “pro-life” Republican who’s been in politics for 37 years. David stepped up to serve the state that has been his home most of his life, where he is now raising his two young sons, because every state is worth fighting for. There has never been an openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate. Help us make history this year. Pitch in now to flip this seat and send David to D.C.
