Back in 2013, when same-sex marriages were still banned in Pennsylvania, I was the first and only elected official in western Pennsylvania to solemnize same-sex weddings. This was one of my proudest moments as mayor. I officiated more than two dozen before the ban was finally overturned. I believe everyone deserves equal protection under the law, and with extreme Republicans trying to pass legislation that discriminates against LGBTQIA+ Americans and targets transgender kids to score cheap political points, we need to fight back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Senate, I will vote to finally pass the Equality Act, which would ensure that civil rights laws \u2014 like protections against discrimination in employment and housing \u2014 apply to sexual orientation and gender identity. I will also support efforts to end the hateful practice of so-called &#8220;conversion therapy,&#8221; and fight to strengthen anti-harrassment policies on school and college campuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1986","issue","type-issue","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Securing LGBTQIA+ Rights - John Fetterman<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/johnfetterman.com\/es\/issue\/securing-lgbtqia-rights\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Securing LGBTQIA+ Rights - John Fetterman\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I have consistently stood with the LGBTQIA+ community.
