“I'm
honored to receive the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign—the
nation’s largest organization working to achieve full equality for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans. Thanks to the Human
Rights Campaign and millions of advocates across the country, we’ve made
tremendous progress. But our work is far from over. Too many LGBT
Americans still face discrimination—in employment, in housing, in
education, in health care—because of who they are or who they love. And
the stakes in this election couldn't be higher. The Republican
candidates for president have not only hurled hateful, insulting
rhetoric about the LGBT community—they’ve made it clear that if elected,
they will roll back the rights that so many have fought for.
“As
President, I will continue to fight alongside the LGBT community to
pass the Equality Act. I’ll support efforts to allow transgender
personnel to serve openly, and I’ll end the dangerous practice of
'conversion therapy' on minors. I’ll expand access to HIV prevention and
treatment, and confront the epidemic of violence facing the transgender
community, especially transgender women of color. And I’ll continue the
efforts I led as Secretary of State to advance the human rights of LGBT
people around the world.
“I'm proud to stand with the
Human Rights Campaign in this fight. Together, we can and will make our
country—and our world—more just, fair, and equal for generations to
come.”
