Tony Evers on Civil Rights

 

 


Will veto any bill that makes Wisconsin less inclusive

And to our LGBTQ kids and Wisconsinites. You know the promise I made to you--the promise I have always been proud to keep. I will veto any bill that makes Wisconsin a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place. And I will never stop delivering on my promise to use every power available to me to defend you, protect your rights, and keep you safe. My promise to the people of Wisconsin has always been to be a governor who works for all Wisconsinites.

Fight clandestine discrimination against LGBTQ people

Tony believes that all Wisconsinites should be able to marry who they love -- plain and simple. Even with our recent victories on this front, there are still important LGBTQ protections we need on the books here in Wisconsin to ensure fairness and equality for all. Our work is not done.

Tony is a strong ally who will continue to fight back against clandestine legislation that discriminates against LGBTQ people. He opposes attempts by the Legislature to outlaw local non-discrimination ordinances that protect people's basic rights. He also has been a vocal opponent of the so-called "bathroom bills" and other attacks on LGBTQ youth.
