WASHINGTON, D.C. – Equality PAC, a political action committee formed by leaders of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, expressed disappointment that neither of the general election debates have included any discussion of the specific issues facing LGBT Americans.
“It was disappointing that Gov. Pence’s extreme anti-LGBT record was not raised in last night’s debate questions,” said Equality PAC Managing Director Roddy Flynn. “Gov. Pence has supported some of the most insidious anti-LGBT legislation in this country, designed to ensure that LGBT people can be turned away from shops, hotels, and restaurants and disallowing same-sex couples from adopting children. The kind of bigotry that the Trump/Pence ticket supports is out of line with American values and should have been a topic in the first two debates. We hope future debates will be more inclusive of the concerns of LGBT Americans.”
