Top 5 Reasons Bernie Sanders Voters Should Support Gary Johnson

 2. Gay Rights

Bernie Sanders has supported equal rights for gay Americans for decades. Sanders held this forward during the campaign as one of his top credentials as a progressive. Sanders voted against both “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the “Defense of Marriage Act.”

Gary Johnson insists that government should stay “out of the bedroom,” supporting the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and favoring marriage equality. He and his running mate William Weld were both signatories of a 2013 Supreme Court brief supporting the right of gay couples to marry.
