Endorsement: Xavier Becerra for Governor

On Harvey Milk Day, we are reminded that equality has never been guaranteed. Every step forward for LGBTQ+ people came because courageous leaders chose to stand up, speak out, and fight for our humanity.

That is why today, San Diego Democrats for Equality is proud to endorse Xavier Becerra for Governor of California.

Long before it was politically safe, Xavier Becerra stood with LGBTQ+ people in the fight for dignity, equality, and freedom. He has spent his career defending our right to exist openly, love who we love, and live without fear.

When extremists attack LGBTQ+ youth, Xavier fights back.

When discrimination threatens our families, Xavier fights back.

When our rights are challenged in courts and legislatures across this country, Xavier fights back.

For our community, this is personal.

This is about the young person afraid to come out.

The trans kid wondering if they are safe.

The LGBTQ+ families being targeted by hate and fear. The generations before us who fought battles simply to be seen, heard, and treated equally.

At a moment when LGBTQ+ people are once again under attack across this country, California must continue to be a place of hope, protection, and progress.

We do not need leaders who will stay silent while our community is targeted.

We need leaders who will stand up, fight back, and never stop defending equality for every Californian.

Xavier Becerra has done that his entire career.

And we know he always will.
