Gubernatorial campaign websites: on Civil Rights
Michael Morgan:
Equality should not depend on who you love, how you identify
Full equality should not depend on who you love or how you identify. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. No employer should be able to discriminate against someone because of their sexual identity or orientation.
Gender-affirming health care is a determination that parents, their children, and medical professionals should make... NOT politicians.

Mike Braun:
There only two genders; no biological males in girls' sports
We need to protect our children by making sure divisive theories like CRT or discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity have no place in our public schools. Indiana state laws should reinforce the simple truth that there are only
two genders, biological males should not be allowed to compete in girls' sports, and "gender affirming care" should be banned for minors.

Jay Ashcroft:
Banning biological males from women's sports is a priority
While the legislature did pass a ban on biological males competing in women's sports, they allowed it to expire in four years. As the father of a young daughter, I testified before the legislature for a permanent ban because
I think every female deserves to have their rights and opportunities protected. As Governor this will be a priority.
