President Obama himself embraced the “It Gets Better” movement championed by Dan Savage in response, and the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights instituted programs to fight anti-LGBTQ bullying. Will DeVos continue these programs and advance further desperately needed policies toward LGBTQ equality? And DeVos and her husband Richard personally contributed to a successful effort to ban marriage equality in Michigan’s constitution. Senators must raise each of these donations and causes in DeVos’s confirmation hearings tomorrow, and hammer her on them. It looks like a pack wolves ready to rip apart rights for LGBTQ people.
