BETO O'ROURKE'S PLAN FOR LGBTQ EQUALITY FOCUSES ON PROTECTING TRANSGENDER PEOPLE
The planO'Rourke's sixth major policy rolloutis heavy on executive actions he would pursue to support the LGBTQ community. It also prescribes legislation he would champion and steps that can be taken on the global stage.
"We must ensure all Americans are treated equally no matter who they are or who they love," the former El Paso congressman said in a statement on the proposal, which comes amid LGBTQ Pride Month and arrived hours before he was set to lead a "Pride Run" in New York City.
Among the executive actions that O'Rourke would take: overturning Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military, reversing the "deploy or get out" policy that critics say discriminates against HIV-positive service members, and bringing back Department of Education guidance that sought to protect LGBTQ students. O'Rourke would also act to crack down on conversion therapy, update blood donation requirements for LGBTQ people, increase LGBTQ representation in the census, and install more pro-LGBTQ people in government, especially in the judiciary.
O'Rourke's plan puts an emphasis on protecting transgender peoplespecifically transgender women of colorcalling for the Department of Justice to investigate crimes against them and making sure law enforcement agencies get the right training to respond. Dallas in particular has been roiled by a recent string of slayings involving transgender women of color.
When it comes to legislation, O'Rourke backs measures such as the Equality Act, a sweeping bill passed last month by the Democratic-led House of Representatives that would overhaul the Civil Rights Act to protect LGBTQ Americans. O'Rourke also wants to make sure LGBTQ people have equal access to health care and insurance as part of any universal health-care system that his administration would pursue in Congress.
And on the international front, O'Rourke proposes things like collaborating with allies to craft a global treaty through the International Law Commission of the United Nations that would shield LGBTQ people from persecution. O'Rourke also would create a "special envoy for the human rights of LGBTQ+ people" in the Department of State.

Beto is back in South Carolina, will be holding a roundtable at Gullah Geechee Nation today
If you are a parent who had kids who watched Nick in the 1990's you might remember the show "Gullah Gullah Island." I don't think I have ever heard of a candidate visiting there before but I'm betting this visit is about Climate Change and maybe Voting Rights. I hope they live stream it! I think it's supposed to start in about an hour.
I found this tweet referencing it:
