“Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Floridians must continue to live in fear as Florida has failed to provide adequate protections under the law,” stated Capital Equality President Andy Janecek. “We must continue to elect pro-equality candidates up and down the ballot to ensure that all Floridians have an opportunity live their lives free of discrimination.”

The mission of the Capital Equality Democratic Caucus is to foster good will between gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally (GLBTA) members of the Democratic Party and the community at large. The organization seeks individual freedom in the framework of a just society and political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all citizens.
