Sen. Kamala Harris said that she supports placing a third gender option on federal identification cards and documents, bolstering her record on LGBT issues
Sen. Kamala Harris said Tuesday that she supports placing a third gender option on federal identification cards and documents, bolstering her record on LGBTQ issues.
Harris was asked about adding a third gender option during an event at Keene State College in New Hampshire. “Sure,” she replied.Harris — a product of the San Francisco Bay Area with a long record on LGBTQ rights, including refusing to defend a ban on same-sex marriage as attorney general of California — used the question to denounce what she described as rising hate in America.
At the town hall, she criticized the Trump administration’s efforts to ban transgender troops from the military, saying she approaches the issue from a human and civil rights perspective. “These are people who have decided they are willing to sacrifice and serve for the sake of our democracy and freedom, and you’re going to kick them out of the military?” she said.
Harris is not the first 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to be asked about adding a nonbinary gender marker to federal IDs and documents. In February, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said she supported moving toward a practice nationwide that’s already in place in states such as New Jersey and Oregon.
