LGBTQ+ EQUALITY

Annie Kuster believes that everyone should have the freedom to be who they are and love who they love.

In Congress, Annie is a member of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus where she works to end discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation. She voted to make marriage equality the law of the land, regardless of if the Supreme Court overturns the precedent of Obergefell v. Hodges.

Annie is an original cosponsor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and signed the amicus brief to the Supreme Court successfully challenging the constitutionality of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. In addition, Annie has championed legislation to ensure same-sex couples receive the same veterans' benefits, Social Security benefits, and immigration rights as all other Americans.
