Received this e-mail today from former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto's (D. NV) U.S. Senate campaign:
There are more than 100,000 children in foster care waiting for a home. And yet, around the country, qualified LGBT adoptive parents are still being discriminated against and turned away for no reason at all.
That’s just wrong – plain and simple.
Protecting children and families has always been my top priority. It’s part of why I’m running for Senate. So when I hear that children are being kept from loving homes, and LGBT families are being discriminated against, I have to stand up and do something about it. And I’m not willing to wait.
There’s a bill in Congress right now that would end discrimination against LGBT families and help more foster children find homes – but Congress won’t pass it unless we make our voices heard. Will you join me in telling Congress to immediately pass the Every Child Deserves a Family Act?

As attorney general, no part of my job was more important than making sure children were safe and cared for – and I’m looking forward to continuing that work in the Senate. But tens of thousands of kids are stuck in limbo in foster care, and they can’t wait for Election Day. They need our help right now.
Ending discrimination against LGBT families would help make sure that every child has a family to go home to. I’m proud to support the Every Child Deserves a Family Act. Will you please stand with me and urge Congress to help every child find a loving home?
Sign your name: Tell Congress to pass the Every Child Deserves a Family Act!
