2021 CA Governor's race: on Civil Rights


Kevin Faulconer: Called on Congress to adopt LGBTQ rights legislation

He has been described as the strongest San Diego mayor on LGBTQ issues and was one of the rare Republican elected officials to publicly support same-sex marriage. He called on Congress to adopt sweeping federal LGBTQ rights legislation and backed campaigns to honor LGBTQ luminaries with their own postage stamps.

Kevin Faulconer: Keep treatment of LGBTQ young adults as sex offenders

Faulconer's stance within the LGBTQ community has taken several hits in recent months, such as when he revealed that he voted to reelect former President Donald Trump in November. And last fall, when he attacked Newsom for signing into law a bill that ended the discriminatory treatment of LGBTQ young adults faced with registering as sex offenders.
