Md. Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus slams Hogan’s LGBTQ rights record
Five Democratic lawmakers of the Maryland House of Delegates, representing a majority of the state’s nine-member legislative LGBTQ caucus, will issue a statement on Friday criticizing Republican former Maryland Gov.
Larry Hogan’s record on LGBTQ rights. Hogan is currently running against Angela Alsobrooks, the Democratic county executive of Prince George’s County, to represent Maryland in one of the most closely watched U.S.
Senate races of the 2024 election cycle. Over the course of his two-term, eight-year tenure as governor, “Hogan has made it clear that he is not an ally for the LGBTQ+ community,” the Maryland legislators wrote in their statement, per an advance copy previewed by the Washington Blade on Thursday.
The authors, out state Dels. Kris Fair, Anne Kaiser, Joe Vogel, Ashanti Martinez, and Bonnie Cullison, also objected in their statement to the “dismissive” manner in which Hogan addressed criticism of his governing record vis-a-vis LGBTQ rights, as witnessed during a recent virtual town hall event organized by his Senate campaign.
