The Human Rights Campaign today released its Congressional Scorecard for the 110th Congress, which rates members of Congress on their support for issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.
For each two year session of Congress since 1989, HRC has published a Congressional Scorecard that includes key Congressional votes and co-sponsorship of pro-LGBT legislation. It is one way to assist the LGBT community in assessing the relative support or non-support of Members of Congress.
"The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community began the process of unraveling the damage of the last decade during this two-year Congressional session," said HRC Legislative Director Allison Herwitt.
