Congressman Farr receives 100% grade from Human Rights Campaign |
Washington, DC – Congressman Sam Farr (D-Carmel) today was awarded a 100% grade from the Human Rights Campaign’s Congressional Scorecard for the 111th Congress, for his work in support of issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. In the 111th Congress, Congressman Farr cosponsored legislation to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and expand early treatment for HIV, as well as supported legislation to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and expand federal jurisdiction on violent hate crimes. “Rep. Sam Farr has been a leader in Congress for equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans,” said Joe Solmonese, President of the Human Rights Campaign. “Whether the issue is combating bias-motivated violence, repealing the discriminatory ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ law or providing equal benefits for same sex couples, we know we can count on Sam Farr to be fighting side-by-side with us.”
