Gus Christensen is a firm believer in marriage equality for all people. But he also believes that it should not be the singular focus of the movement for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) equality; more needs to be done to recognize and counteract the legacy of homophobia and transphobia.
Having grown up in a household with a strong mother and two sisters, Gus was taught to respect the rights of all women from a young age and has helped to shape his policy views. Gus believes that there is still important progress that needs to be made for women.
