Say You Stand With Jim KenneyI’m proud that Philadelphia is one of the most LGBTQ-friendly cities in the nation, but we know that didn’t just happen over night. A large part of it was due to the advocacy, hard work, and dedication of one city council member: Jim Kenney. In the 1990s, way before equality was a buzzword, Jim introduced legislation to provide benefits to life partners of city workers. In 2013, he fought to pass a ground-breaking LGBTQ Equality Bill. And just last year, Jim worked to pass the strongest hate crime legislation in the country. Jim has always stood for Philadelphia’s LGBTQ community, and now it’s our turn to stand with him. I’m throwing my full support behind him today—will you join me? The election is on May 19th and we don’t have a day to waste. Add your name today, and let me know you’re backing Jim Kenney for mayor. -Brian Sims |
