LGBTQ+

From speaking out against Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell while in the Marines to leading the fight against the Prop 107 same-sex marriage ban in Arizona, to now serving as Vice Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, Ruben has always and will continue to fight for the LGBTQ+ community.

Ruben is an active supporter of the Equality Act, which outlaws discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, banking, jury selection, transportation, and public accommodations. His commitment extends to veterans, ensuring those discharged due to their sexual orientation or gender identity receive the VA benefits they’ve earned.

Discrimination has no place in our society and Ruben is unwaveringly committed to fostering a future where everyone can live authentically and without fear. While substantial progress has been made, the fight for equality is far from over.
