2018 AR Governor's race: on Civil Rights


Mark West: No authority over relationships between same-sex adults

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Comfortable with same-sex marriage"?

A: Government has no authority over relationships between consenting adults and therefore has no authority over licensing marriage, only in accepting contracts between consenting adults.

Jared Henderson: Supports LGBT citizens but not for across the board revamps

Gay rights? "I unambiguously support civil rights for LGBT citizens." But does that mean pushing to override existing discrimination in state law or to add protections to the state civil rights statute? "Where we need to go further to see real equity we need to do it." But he indicated that first there needs to be evidence of a problem in need of correction. Then, he said, "should we need to stand up and be counted, I'm not afraid to do it."
