Tammy Duckworth on LGBT rights!


Saw this so I looked it up: https://secure.actblue.com/page/illinoislgbtallies


http://www.tammyduckworth.com/civilrights/

The LGBT community is entitled to the same rights afforded to everyone else. My view on LGBT equality is rooted in love. While I was recovering at Walter Reed after being shot down in Iraq, my husband Bryan was at my bedside every day. Not only was he offering love and support during such a difficult time, but he was also making critical decisions for me that improved the quality of my life to this day. Often, those decisions were contrary to what my mother would have decided, but as my life partner, my husband knew me better and made the correct choices for me when I could not. I support the freedom to marry because everyone deserves the same level of access, support and love. As a Member of Congress, I will work tirelessly to support the LGBT community and push for total equality.

First and foremost, it's true.

Secondly, her opponent will fill his jockey full of bricks because she mentions her service again.

Go Tammy and thank you for posting, Omaha Steve!

PEACE!
