  • Two Years Ago, I Sat Down with David Medina, Who Was Then the Director
    Dear Friends: The 2008 Presidential elections offer our country and our community a chance to make history, by fundamentally restructuring American politics from the White House to the statehouse. That is why we are supporting Senator John Edwards for President and hope that you will consider joining us. As the Democratic presidential nominee, John Edwards would represent nothing less than the chance to alter the conventional foundations of American politics. Edwards demonstrates strong leadership, not only on the critical issues facing the LGBT community, but also by offering bold ideas like guaranteeing universal health care to every man, woman and child in this nation, ending poverty in this country during our lifetime, and stopping global warming while creating hundreds of thousands of quality American jobs in a new energy economy. As the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee Edwards will run a 50-state campaign- helping to strengthen Democratic officials, not only in traditionally “blue” states, but also in “battleground” and “red” states. Edwards’ “policy ideas are shaping the Democratic presidential race.” The Economist- July 19, 2007 Edwards’ bold leadership on the critical issues, both on those unique to our community and those that transcend all communities, has set the policy agenda for this election, making it safe for others to follow. Edwards was the first candidate to offer a truly universal health care plan, the first candidate to offer a comprehensive global warming proposal, and the first to offer a comprehensive HIV/AIDS strategy. Early on, Edwards accepted responsibility and apologized for his vote to invade Iraq, and he has consistently called upon Congress to stand up to President Bush to force an end to the war.

  • SDD Questionnaire Booklet March 7
    Stonewall Questionnaire E-Booklet March 7, 2021 1 Dallas City Council District 6 Earl Thomas Your background and the LGBTQ community Please share any experience that illustrates your understanding of and interest in the needs of the LGBTQ+ community in your District. I have friends and family of the LGBTQ community. People just want to be treated fairly. I don’t believe that preference should be an issue in society. Good living situations should be. As an organization affiliated with the Texas Democratic Party, Stonewall Democrats of Dallas will only endorse candidates who affirm an affiliation with the platform and policies of the Texas Democratic Party. Do you make such an affirmation? What is your previous voting history? Yes. I do. I’ve always been Democrat. Creating an inclusive community As a member of the Dallas City Council, how would you work to ensure that the City of Dallas - as an employer and as a representative of its residents - actively includes those who identify as LGBTQ+? I would work hard to make sure that everyone is looked at as a person, not a category. What we do as people has absolutely nothing to do with our uniqueness. Separation has destroyed us in some facets as a community, in business, in education, and even in ministry. I stand for all people. What would you do to ensure that qualified LGBTQ+ candidates are encouraged to seek employment on your staff and as staff of the City of Dallas? How would you work to include the LGBTQ+ community in your appointments to boards and commissions? I would work hard to treat them the same as I treat the man I look at in the mirror everyday.

  • 2006 Annual Report
    We win 2006 annual report gay & lesbian victory fund and leadership institute when alabama, arkansas and indiana voters elect their first openly lgbt officials in the same year. when voters in campbell, california elect a young lgbt leader with a promising future. when maryland voters elect their first openly gay state senator and add to the lgbt voices in the state house. when lgbt leaders get the training they need to work harder for equality. hen political power brokers threatened to ignore the voters of the Wth District and overturn her his- toric election, Patricia Todd stayed strong and the Victory Fund swung into action. Having worked hard to secure a BREAKthrough victory in a state that had never elected an open- break through ly LGBT official, the Victory Fund quickly assembled a team of lawyers, donors, advisors and staff to defend her win. And when she finally won, we all did. Now when Alabama lawmakers debate the lives of gays and lesbians, they will look up from their lecterns to see a true hero of our community, and their colleague, staring back at them. The fight for that was mighty, but the power of it is strong, quiet and unyielding. Like Patricia. And 2006 brought other BREAK- through victories. Arkansas elected hon. patricia todd its first openly LGBT official when alabama state representative Kathy Webb was elected to the state legislature, and in Indiana, Henry alabama state representative Fernandez became the state’s first patricia todd refused to quit. elected LGBT official when he won a seat on the Lawrence Township School Board.

  • John Kerry on Same-Sex Marriage

Given the stakes, no issue rivals the question of marriage, for to destroy humanity’s central institution is to launch the greatest social revolution in human history. Wednesday, August 11, 2004 The protection of marriage constitutes the great moral challenge of our age, framing not only the 2004 presidential election, but determining the future shape of our civilization. Given the stakes, no issue rivals the question of marriage, for to destroy humanity’s central institution is to launch the greatest social revolution in human history. Surveys have consistently indicated that most Americans support traditional marriage and opposes redefining the institution to include same-sex unions. On this issue, the majority has spoken clearly and resoundingly. The recent landslide turnout and vote in Missouri sent a very clear message across the nation and caused shock waves that continue to reverberate throughout the political world. That turnout, exceeding even the most optimistic hopes of pro-marriage citizens, led to the adoption of an amendment to the state’s constitution and established marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Now, politicians are scrambling to convince the public that they are on the right side of this issue. The political gymnastics now being performed by Senator John Kerry defy the political imagination.

  • How Does Party Position Change Happen? the Case of Gay Rights in the U.S
    How Does Party Position Change Happen? The Case of Gay Rights in the U.S. Congress July 2012 (an earlier version of this paper was presented at the January 2012 Annual Meeting of the Southern Political Science Association, in New Orleans, Louisiana) By David Karol [email protected] 301.405.0906 Department of Government and Politics University of Maryland Abstract Democrats and Republicans are increasingly divided on questions of gay rights. Debate exists about the mechanism producing such party position change among elected officials. Some scholars claim that fears of seeming inconsistent keep politicians from changing their stands, so party position change occurs chiefly via turnover among elected officials. Yet using both co-sponsorship and roll-call data from the U.S. Congress, I find that both mechanisms underlie party position change on gay rights, with conversion playing a leading role. However unlike other “social” issues on which the parties have divided such as gun control and abortion, almost all the change on gay rights has occurred within the Democratic Party. As gay rights activists became more prominent in the Democratic Party Democratic incumbents adapted and took new stands, creating a partisan divide on the issue. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how party position change occurs. “Attitudes evolve, including mine.” – President Barack Obama on same-sex marriage. October 27, 2010.1 The apparent stability of the American two-party system reveals much fluidity on close inspection. If the Democrats and Republicans seem immortal, their policies and electoral coalitions are far less stable. Interest in how and why these changes occur has animated the realignment literature (Burnham 1970, Sundquist 1983), studies of “issue evolution” (Carmines and Stimson 1989, Adams 1997, Stimson 2004) and “party position change” (Wolbrecht 2000, Karol 2009.) I focus here on the question of how party positioning on gay or LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual) rights changed in Congress.

    Council for American Private Education 13017 Wisteria Drive #457 Germantown, MD 20874 301-916-8460 (tel) 301-916-8485 (fax) [email protected] www.capenet.org Focus n Operatio Focus Background Information on Key Members of Congress PRIVATE EDUCATION : Good for Students Good for Families Good for America Voice of America’s Private Schools Operation Focus CAPE and its member organizations are working to encourage the private school community across the country to communicate with key members of Congress about legislative issues of concern to religious and independent schools. The program is called “Operation Focus” because it focuses on specific lawmakers and enlists the help of specific constituents within their states or districts. Lawmakers Operation Focus identifies key legislators who fill leadership posts in the House or Senate, or who serve on the following committees significant for education: • Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (House and Senate) • Education and Labor Committee (House) • Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) (Senate) • Ways and Means Committee (House) Constituents Operation Focus seeks to enlist the help of influential persons who can communicate with lawmakers about the legislative priorities of the private school community. Such persons might include education and religious leaders; community and business leaders; contributors to political campaigns; board members, administrators, parents, and teachers in schools within the particular state or Congressional district. About This Document The biographical sketches of lawmakers in this document are intended to provide private school leaders with background information that may be helpful in identifying persons well suited to contact legislators. The sketches should also give the identified contacts valuable information to help them connect with the legislator in question.
