Ensure that all LGBTQ families are treated equally

[Human Rights Campaign endorsement press release]: HRC and these champions for equality must work together to ensure we maintain a pro-equality majority in the U.S. House and establish one in the U.S. Senate. HRC will work to mobilize 57 million Equality Voters nationwide to turn out this November and ensure these endorsed candidates win.

"Throughout my career in public service--whether during my time in the Utah legislature, as Mayor of Salt Lake County, or now as a member of Congress--I've worked to build bridges in the community to ensure that all families are treated equally under the law,"ÿsaidÿ Rep. Ben McAdams (UT-4). "I'm honored to receive HRC's endorsement and look forward to more progress on these important issues."

CC:Protect sexual preference as a civil right.

McAdams supports the CC survey question on LGBT rights

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Make Sexual Preference a Protected Minority Status under Civil Rights Laws' Christian Coalition's self-description: "Christian Voter Guide is a clearing-house for traditional, pro-family voter guides. We do not create voter guides, nor do we interview or endorse candidates."
