Why Bernie Sanders Must Tout His Stellar LGBT Rights Record If He Wants To Win

Sanders is a hero among LGBT Vermonters, fighting the fight for them and for all LGBT Americans during his past years in the House in the '90s and well into his current years in the Senate. He was among only 67 House members to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996, which Bill Clinton signed into law. In an interview earlier in the year he supported adding full civil rights in housing, employment and public accommodation for LGBT people to the 1964 Civil Rights Act -- months before Democrats introduced such a bill in Congress, after which Hillary Clinton expressed support for the first time, in a tweet.
