There are an estimated 50,000
gays and lesbians living in
Delaware. If each and every one
of us votes for the candidates
endorsed by the Delaware Liberty
Fund, we can affect the outcome
in every district election. If
the Gay and Lesbian community
desires to have legislation such
as HB99 enacted, we must all
participate in the political
process by: working on
campaigns, contributing money to
the DLF and candidate campaigns,
and voting.
Prior to endorsing candidates,
the
Delaware Liberty Fund sent a
survey form to all candidates.
The survey, along with public
statements made by the
candidates, and previous voting
records were used in determining
candidates for endorsement. The
following are the questions that
candidates were asked in the
survey:
Please rate these eight
questions on a scale of : 1
(Do Not Support),
2 (probably will not
support),
3 (unsure at this
time),
4 (most likely will
support),
5 (Strongly Support)
1. SB141 would add “sexual
orientation” to all
nondiscrimination laws of the
state of
Delaware. If a similar piece of
legislation is introduced in the
next session of the legislature
will you support the bill?
2. SB141 does not include
“gender identity”. Would you
support including this
protection for transsexuals and
transgender persons?
3. Would you support civil
marriage for same sex couples?
4. Would you support the
creation of civil unions for
same sex couples?
5. Would you support legislation
that would recognize same sex
civil marriages, civil unions or
domestic partnerships that were
performed in other countries or
states?
6. SB10 would extend employee
benefits to domestic partners of
Delaware State Government
employees. Would you support
implementing benefits for the
domestic partners of state
employees?
7. Do you support the right of
qualified people who are gay and
lesbian to adopt children?
8. Will you oppose any act
proposing an amendment to the
Delaware constitution which
would prohibit recognition of
same sex relationships?
