UPDATED 3/6
Congressman Lynch has contacted the Allied War Veterans in an attempt to find a solution, and the Lynch for Senate campaign will have a strong presence in this year’s South Boston parade.
****************************
“Congressman Lynch’s positions don’t change based on the office he’s running for. He has consistently maintained that this is a first amendment issue, and the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that private parade organizers have the right to decide which groups can march. Congressman Lynch’s support of the first amendment doesn’t change simply because he is running for Senate or because some candidates for office want to play politics.
Congressman Lynch is a strong supporter of equal rights for the LGBT community. He is a co-sponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act, which would repeal DOMA, and voted to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. He voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment, supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and the Student Non-Discrimination Act, and helped secure gay-marriage rights in Washington, DC.
Congressman Lynch has contacted the Allied War Veterans in an attempt to find a solution, and the Lynch for Senate campaign will have a strong presence in this year’s South Boston parade.
Rep. Lynch himself will be marching in the Holyoke parade for the first time, as he continues to introduce himself to voters around Massachusetts.”
