What should the Pennsylvania legislature accomplish this year for the LGBT community?

“Legalizing same-sex marriage and passing a state GLBT antidiscrimination law. Those are two obvious things. I’m not saying there should be special rights, but members of the GLBT community should have the same rights as anyone else. Including marriage.”

“Better regulations on the dispensing of mind-altering drugs. People aren’t using them for the right reason, as an entry to talk therapy. Addiction is a problem for any community, including the LGBT community.”

Jason Luber
recording artist | Bella Vista
“More funding for the arts. But the government should never dictate what the artist can create. If the feds can give billions of dollars to bail out corrupt Wall Street, why can’t the state government make sure that the arts are properly funded?”

Tyrus Lytton
artist | North Philadelphia
“Reinstate the [comprehensive] hate-crimes law so that women, transgender and the disabled are covered. Too many people are getting hurt. And ignoring the problem won’t make it go away. I believe strongly in hate-crimes laws.”
