For the whole list of endorsements view their page. In the race in the 144th Assembly Sam Hoyt wins.. I feel rejected, I’m hurt….

The questions were..
Do you think same-sex couples should be allowed to legally marry?
Would you support legislation that allowed same-sex couples to marry?
Can you envision any circumstance where you would support legislation such as the so-called “Defense of Marriage Act”
Do you support a woman’s unrestricted right to reproductive freedom, including abortion?

There is 28 all together, I would have scored very high against them so there is a huge difference when it comes to our stance on GLBT issues.
