Inclusiveness on Election Day
Tomorrow is Election Day. Only three states have ballot measures that define LGBT partnerships and work place discrimination. To learn more about these states, go here.
Since many of us do not have a specific equality issue, we need to consider equally important concerns when going to the polls tomorrow. Many of us may be voting for local candidates (school board, city council, sheriff, etc). Do you know how your local candidates stand for equality?
Here are a few questions to ask yourself before going to the polls:
- did the candidate receive an endorsement from an LGBT organization?
- does the candidate have a proven recording of supporting LGBT inclusiveness?
- does the candidate speak openly about his/her support for the LGBT community?
If you can answer yes to all or even 1 of these questions, you can feel pretty confidant that you are supporting equality.
After election day, our real work begins. Making our elected officials responsible for standing up for equality!
