(Cherry Hill) –The’s a lot of “lesser of two evils” and “both parties are the same” chatter happening, especially with the presidential election heating up. But historically and also and right now, the fight for gay/LGBT rights is proof that democrats and republicans are definitely not the same.
In that spirit, Garden State Equality, NJ’s largest LGBT rights organization, rolled out its Federal endorsements today. With Trump v Biden topping the tickets, NJ’s entire 12-member Congressional delegation is running for reelection along with US Senator Cory Booker.
Stephanie Schmid for Congress in NJ4.
“I am honored to have earned the endorsement of Garden State Equality, a vital organization in New Jersey that is instrumental in advocating for the LGBTQ community,” Ms Schmid told InsiderNJ. “My opponent, Congressman Chris Smith, does not believe that LGBTQ people have the right to love who they want to love, to marry, or to raise children, and he has spent his life attacking their human rights and denigrating their humanity. What Smith does not seem to realize is that the LGBTQ community includes our brothers and sisters, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. I am running for Congress because I believe in a world where everybody is treated with dignity and respect, and all people are able to exercise their fundamental human rights—including the right to build a family with the people they love. I have been a strong ally to the LGBTQ community as a human rights attorney and U.S. Foreign Service Officer, and I will continue fighting for a safe and inclusive world for all people as the next Representative in NJ-04.”
