Former Republican Congresswoman: The GOP Needs the LGBTQ
Congress who voted for the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) in 2022.The Grand Old Party has long been associated with conservative values, and a closer look reveals how a nuanced and evolving stance on LGBTQ freedoms closely aligns with the longstanding principles of individual liberty, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of happiness.
These principles, which resonate with core conservative values, have naturally led many Republicans to reassess their stance on policies that have an impact on LGBTQ Americans.
As a Republican and former member of Congress, I've long said that embracing LGBTQ equality is, in fact, an extension of these principles.
Allowing our friends, family members, and neighbors to live their lives authentically and pursue happiness without fear of discrimination aligns seamlessly with the party's commitment to personal liberty.Moreover, many Republicans recognize that supporting LGBTQ equality is also a keen acknowledgment of a changing political landscape.
