About This Campaign

President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, boasts a clear history of allowing individuals and organizations a religious "right-to-discriminate" against the civil rights of LGBTQ and other Americans. This nomination is unacceptable, and our first step to stopping it is making sure the Senate Judiciary Committee hears from fair-minded Americans in their state. 

Why Does It Matter?

A Supreme Court Justice serves for life, tasked with protecting the Constitution for ALL Americans. In recent years SCOTUS has upheld the dignity of LGBTQ equality several times – from the right to privacy to the freedom to marry. While the Trump administration said it would be "respectful and supportive" of LGBTQ equality, including non-discrimination protections, Judge Gorsuch's nomination poses a significant threat to protections like the ones President Trump said he'll preserve. Confirming a judge with this murky of a history raises serious questions about whether they will faithfully serve LGBTQ Americans, and his confirmation could be disastrous for our vulnerable community.​

• Gorsuch believes it is “bad for the country” for courts to help protect the civil rights of LGBTQ and other Americans - the same courts who gave us marriage equality and a right to privacy; [1]

• He ruled against providing appropriate medical care to transgender people [1]
• Gorsuch’s Hobby Lobby opinion has been used by courts to allow religious-based discrimination against women and transgender people - including denying contraception and firing employees. He even said he would have allowed individuals to discriminate as well. [2][3]
• He ruled that public government displays of religion do not violate the separation of church and state. [4]
• Gorsuch is endorsed by some of the most anti-LGBTQ voices in the country, including National Organization for Marriage co-founder Prof. Robert George, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Jordan Lorence, former ADF Senior Counsel (and author of Colorado’s same-sex marriage ban amendment) Mike Norton, Kelly Shackelford, President of Texas-based anti-LGBT group First Liberty, and President of the hate group Family Research Council, Tony Perkins [5] [6]
