2022 AR Senate race: on Civil Rights


Dan Whitfield: No discrimination for sexual orientation or identity

No one should ever be discriminated against for their sexual orientation or identity. It is unconstitutional to prevent a same sex couple from receiving the same tax benefits as any other American couple. I also support same sex couples adopting children. As a cable guy I have been in thousands of peoples' homes. I have met so many wonderful people including same sex couples. Being a good parent has nothing to do with sexual orientation or identity.

Dan Whitfield: Solving systemic racism will improve life for Americans

Once we begin to move forward towards solving the systematic racism in our society, we will see improvements in the quality of life for Americans. Violence is not the answer. The answer is to empathize and understand why so many marginalized Americans are hurting, and then to enact legislation that can begin to heal these most deep wounds that have been festering for hundreds of years within our society.
