Related: About this forumFair Wisconsin, State's largest LGBT group, endorses Clinton
http://wisconsingazette.com/2016/03/30/states-largest-lgbt-group-endorses-clinton/In the U.S. Senate, Clinton championed hate crime legislation, fought for federal non-discrimination legislation to protect LGBT Americans in the workplace, and advocated for an end to restrictions that blocked LGBT Americans from adopting children. As Secretary of State, she advanced LGBT rights abroad and enforced stronger anti-discrimination regulations within the State Department, declaring on the global stage that gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.
Clinton's LGBT agenda
FW went on to praise Clinton for having the most comprehensive and far-reaching LGBT policy agenda ever produced by a presidential candidate. The group detailed her LGBT agenda, which includes:
Fighting for full federal equality for LGBT Americans. Clinton has said that she would work with Congress to pass the Equality Act, continue President Obamas LGBT equality executive actions, and support efforts to clarify that sex discrimination includes discrimination on the basis of gender identity.
Supporting LGBT youth, parents, and elders. Clinton has vowed to pass the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Student Non-Discrimination Act to combat bullying.
Honoring the military service of LGBT people. Clinton said that as commander-in-chief she would upgrade the service records of LGBT veterans dismissed due to their sexual orientation and support efforts to allow transgender personnel to serve openly.
Securing affordable treatment for people living with HIV and AIDS. Clinton would work with governors to extend Medicaid coverage to people living with HIV, cap out-of pocket expenses for people with HIV/AIDS, and expand the utilization of HIV prevention medications, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
Protecting and advancing transgender rights. Clinton would direct the federal government to improve its reporting of hate crimes and streamline identity documents that impose barriers on transgender Americans seeking official identification documents.
Promoting human rights of LGBT people around the world. Clinton would continue to ensure Americas foreign policy is inclusive of LGBT people around the world. She would increase the U.S. investment in the Global Equality Fund to advance the human rights of LGBT people around the world.
