2016 CO Senate race: on Civil Rights


Darryl Glenn: Opposed health insurance for same-sex city workers

Glenn's top priority as a Colorado Springs Council candidate was to block rights for LGBT people. Glenn's time in the Colorado Springs was spent frequently fighting against equal treatment of LGBT people. In his unsuccessful first campaign in 2003, he promised to make repealing domestic partnership benefits his top issue. After he was appointed to a vacant seat on the council some months later, he voted against allowing same-sex city workers to get health insurance (even if they paid their own premiums), opposed employment protections for gay and lesbian people, and denounced LGBT pride parade organizers for supporting marriage equality, saying, "proponents of this are trying to escalate the tension in this community." He even tried to create a diversity committee with no positions reserved for LGBT people.

Tim Neville: Marriage is between one man and one woman only

Defend Marriage: I believe marriage is between one man and one woman only, and I oppose the federal government and Supreme Court forcing any other definition of marriage on the states.

My faith is the most important thing in my life.

Unfortunately, across the country there is a war on religious liberty, as Christian-based schools, businesses and non-profit groups are being fined or shut down simply for abiding by their Faith and religious values.
