Political Group Survey: the AFA survey question on gender identity
Source: AFA Survey
The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws'?
Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
Also see the Christian Coalition survey question on transgender bathrooms as a related survey question; the AFA survey question on religion vs. same-sex marriage from a similar survey question; and the 2018 CC survey question on LGBT rights.
