Protect rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans* people
While there has been significant progress over the last few years to help protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans* (LGBT) people, much still needs to be done before we have full equality under the law. As a member of the LGBT community,
I care very deeply about these issues and want to see an end to all forms of discrimination. It is still legal in most states to fire someone or deny them the right to work simply because they are LGBT. It's time we passed an employment
non-discrimination act in congress that would protect the rights of LGBT people to work.
We are seeing conservative lawmakers trying to pass legislation that would ban trans* people from being able to access appropriate restrooms, changing rooms,
and locker rooms. As a trans woman I find this trend to be very problematic as these kinds of laws do not protect anyone or solve any problems; they only exist to create barriers for trans* people trying to live normal and authentic lives.

Ratify treaty on Elimination of Discrimination Against Women
It's time to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, which shows a commitment for respecting the rights of women. We signed the treaty in 1980 but failed to ratify it.
It's past time for us to show women that we care about women's rights and are committed to ending all discrimination against them.

Opposes defining marriage as one-man-one-woman.
Snow opposes the AFA survey question on definition of marriage
The American Family Association Action Voter Guide asked if candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.'
American Family Association Action (AFA Action) produces the online "iVoterGuide" for selected state and federal races. The mission of AFA Action is to inform and mobilize individuals to strengthen the biblical foundations of America.
