2022 LA Senate race: on Civil Rights


Gary Chambers: Regrets using "homo" in 2011 tweet, now in different place

In a 2011 tweet, he used the word "homo." He said he didn't know why he wrote that but now believes it was wrong. "It's a word I don't use at this point anymore," Chambers said. "I was at a totally different place in life. I hope people don't judge me on something I said in my early 20s."

Luke Mixon: I support marriage equality, would vote to make it law

Every American has the right to Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing is more central to the pursuit of happiness than partnering with the person you love and marrying your partner if you so choose. Members of the LGBTQ community should be free to marry their partner, if they choose, without government interference--because they are Americans. I completely support marriage equality and would proudly vote to make it law.
