"Every Republican candidate for president is against gay marriage. I have supported same-sex marriage and voted against Clinton's Defense of Marriage Act. You can't claim to support equality and not support equal rights."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Incredibly, today in many states, it is still legal to fire someone for being gay. That is unacceptable and must change."

"In many states, it is legal to deny someone housing for being transgender. That is wrong and must end. "
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Many of my Republican colleagues talk about family values. Their values are that our gay brothers and sisters should not be able to get married, or enjoy all of the benefits of American citizenship. I disagree."

"Of course all citizens deserve equal rights. It's time for the Supreme Court to catch up to the American people and legalize gay marriage."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
