We have stood up for the LGBTQ+ community for over 40 years in Maine. Dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ proposals were introduced in recent legislative sessions, and we expect them to resurface again next year. We will be ready to defeat them again with a pro-equality majority in the Senate and House.
EqualityMaine will work hard to elect pro-equality candidates up and down the ballot this year and will not rest while anyone in the LGBTQ+ community is under attack.
