Connie Chan will fight back against the bigoted and transphobic Trump agenda and work with likeminded colleagues to protect our LGBTQ+ community. She will support legislation to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or sex, work to end the Trump prohibition on transgender men and women serving in the military, support the No Place for LGBTQ+ Hate Act, and she will work to ban conversion therapy nationally. 

Connie will also work to strengthen health access by pushing to lift any prohibitions for people on Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health programs to receive gender affirming care. She will work to increase funding for programs that support individuals living with HIV, for research into a cure for AIDS/HIV, and to support the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ+ youth – including the right of transgender youth to participate in sports teams consistent with their gender identity.
