Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has received a 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign's annual Equality Scorecard.
Members of Congress are scored on their co-sponsorship of Employment Non Discrimination Act, Respect for Marriage Act, Domestic Partners Benefit Obligation as well as the Tax Parity for Health Plan Beneficiaries Act which would end the unfair taxation of domestic partnership health benefits and the Uniting American Families Act which would treat binational same-sex couples the same as those who are recognized as legally married.
Congresswoman Johnson recognizes bullying of LGBT students is a national problem and that the federal government has a key role to play and we must continue to build support for the Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA) and the Safe Schools Improvement Act (SSIA). Congresswoman Johnson supports passage of a fully inclusive ENDA, repeal DOMA, and expanded funding and treatment for HIV/AIDS.
