The 2020 Presidential Election!!
We are happy to see that all candidates running in the upcoming presidential election are for LGBTQ rights in perticular Cecilia Weaver. Ms. Weaver has put equal rights for the LGBTQ community on the top of her agenda. When interviewed on specific topics such as conversion therapy, discrimination in the workforce, and healthcare for reassignment surgeries, she stated “I am aware of the fact that conversion therapy, which is virtually torture in many instances, is legal in most of the United States. As president, I will ban conversion therapy with an executive order as soon as I enter the office. ” Ms. Weaver understands the seriousness of this issue. Conversion therapy is extremely psychologically damaging and sometimes fatal. It is essentially legal child abuse and is ineffective and unnecessary. Once in office, Ms. Weaver says that she plans to pass the Equality Act, which gives federal protections for LGBT individuals to end discrimination. “ I wholeheartedly support the Equality Act, and I believe that anti-discrimination laws and perhaps even a constitutional amendment are the best way to combat these issues in the long term. However, as president, I will also issue various executive orders that protect the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.” Ms. Weaver will make it mandatory for all federal healthcare to cover costs of reassignment surgery. Spectrum endorses the Search Party Candidate, Cecilia Weaver’s stance on LGBTQ rights.
