Wayne Messam on Civil Rights

FL Mayor; Democratic Presidential Challenger (withdrawn)

 


We must face institutional racism across the board

Messam wrote a column for the Orlando Sentinel, "People who face discrimination due to the color of their skin, are often obstructed by institutional barriers across our society -- from education and housing, to employment and healthcare, to voting rights and the criminal justice system," he wrote.

Silent about his stance on LGBTQ rights

Messam has been silent about his stance on LGBTQ rights. On his campaign website, he has 12 pages that list his top priorities, which include everything from gun reform to democratic reform. However, there is no mention of LGBTQ rights.

Additionally, The Daily Beast reached out to the 2020 candidates to ask them about their views on the Supreme Court taking up cases around LGBTQ discrimination. Messam could not be reached for comment.

His biography also does not mention LGBTQ rights anywhere.
