How Hillary snagged the largest LGBT endorsement
- 8 years ago
The Human Rights Campaign , the largest LGBT organization in the country, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Tuesday.
"The board felt that Hillary Clinton has laid out the most robust plan in the campaign on LGBT issues," HRC spokesman Brandon Lorenz told The Christian Science Monitor in a phone interview Tuesday.
Mr. Lorenz tells the Monitor that the board used three pillars of endorsement criteria: "support for issues of concern to the community, demonstrated leadership on LGBT issues and viability" in the 2016 election.
"Secretary Clinton has made LGBT equality a pillar of her campaign and recently unveiled the most robust and ambitious LGBT plan any candidate for president has ever laid out," HRC writes in their press release.
Both Sanders and Clinton list LGBT equality goals as part of their campaign platforms, such as signing the Equality Act, which would add LGBT protection federal civil rights law, ensuring better police education on LGBT issues.
