On Tuesday, June 3, the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, will hold a media conference call to announce the release of HRC PAC’s comprehensive report – “Senator John McCain: A Record of Opposing the Interests of GLBT Americans.” As GLBT Americans start to see progress toward equality in California and other states after 8 years of Bush-related roll backs, the Human Rights Campaign PAC – led by Arizona State Legislator Kyrsten Sinema – will ensure that voters understand the real record of Sen. John McCain.
“As the general election kicks off, Sen. John McCain will tout his reputation as a maverick, an independent, a moderate who will work with both parties to get things done. However, a look at Sen. McCain’s record paints a very different picture,” said Human Rights Campaign Vice President David Smith. “We’ve witnessed President Bush over the last seven years – despite his promise to be a ‘uniter, not a divider’ – repeatedly siding with ultra-conservatives and the religious right at the expense of protections for GLBT Americans. A McCain presidency would be another four years of more of the same.”
