Caucus
Endorses Hillary Clinton for President
Sacramento, CA -- The California Legislative Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Caucus has endorsed Hillary Clinton for the 2016 presidential election.
“Hillary
Clinton has been an ardent supporter of LGBT issues,” says
Assemblymember Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), Chair of the
Caucus. “Her historic words in 2011 at the United Nations convention
that “gay rights are human rights” signaled to world leaders that the
United States was and continues to be, committed to advancing full
equality for the LGBT community.”
As Secretary of State, Clinton strengthened the Department’s policies
on anti-discrimination, worked with global advocates and other
stakeholders in encouraging countries to decriminalize same-sex
relationships, and supported programs that extended benefits and
additional protections to LGBT individuals.
“The
Caucus stands in proud solidarity with Hillary.” Chair Assemblymember
Susan Talamantes Eggman says, “We look forward to working together in
continuing the fight toward full equality and justice for our gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered brothers and sisters.”Members
