FIGHTING DISCRIMINATION
Obama Supports Legislation to Outlaw
Employment Discrimination on the Basis of
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.
Obama Sponsored Fully Inclusive Non‐
Discrimination Bill In Illinois. He was a
champion of the bill for seven years, which
later passed after Obama had been elected to
the US Senate.
McCain Voted Against the Employment Non‐
Discrimination Act. McCain said “I don't
believe that [homosexuals] belong in a special
category. […] That's why I voted the way that I
did.”
ADOPTION
Obama Supports Full Adoption Rights for
Same Sex Couples.
Obama believes that LGBT
people should have the same adoption rights
as heterosexuals.
McCain Opposed Gay Adoption. McCain said
“I don’t believe in gay adoption.”
DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT
Obama Supports Complete Repeal of DOMA.
Obama believes we need to fully repeal the
Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation
that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal
rights and benefits currently provided on the
basis of marital status are extended to samesex
couples in civil unions and other legallyrecognized
relationships.
McCain Continues to Defend DOMA. McCain
voted for passage of the Defense of Marriage
Act in 1996, which denies federal legal rights
and benefits to same‐sex couples, and he
continues to defend that discriminatory law to
this day.
MARRIAGE AMENDMENTS
Obama Voted Against a Federal Amendment
to Ban Same‐Sex Marriage. Obama sided with
the vast majority of Democrats opposing
attempts by the Republican leadership to bring
up a vote on a constitutional amendment to
ban same sex‐marriage
Obama Opposes Discriminatory Constitutional
Amendments. Obama “opposes all divisive
and discriminatory Constitutional
amendments, state or federal.” This includes
the proposed amendments In California,
Arizona and Florida.
McCain “Proud” to Have Led an Effort to Ban
Same‐Sex Marriage and Civil Unions In
Arizona. McCain said “I'm proud to have led
an effort in my home state to change our state
Constitution to protect the sanctity of marriage
between man and woman.”
McCain Supports the California Gay Marriage
Ban. In an e‐mail to protectmarriage.com,
McCain said “I support the efforts of the
people of California to recognize marriage as a
unique institution between a man and a
woman, just as we did in my home state.”
McCain Says He Would Sign the Federal
Marriage Amendment into Law. When asked
if he would sign the federal marriage
amendment if elected President, McCain
replied, “of course,” although he voted against
the amendment in the Senate.
