On Civil Rights: No one discriminated against because of who they love

[Human Rights Campaign endorsement press release]: HRC and these champions for equality must work together to ensure we maintain a pro-equality majority in the U.S. House and establish one in the U.S. Senate. HRC will work to mobilize 57 million Equality Voters nationwide to turn out this November and ensure these endorsed candidates win.

"It's been almost a year since the House passed the Equality Act, but the Senate has refused to even vote on it." said Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (NM-2). "As we work together to fight COVID-19 and its economic impact, LGBTQ people should not have to face discrimination in health care, housing, employment, and beyond. Now, just as always, no one should be discriminated against because of who they love. I am honored to have the Human Rights Campaign's endorsement and remain committed to working with them to protect the rights of all."
