Anti-discrimination in Contracting

In 2017, Scott offered and passed an amendment to the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Appropriations Act that ensured that companies doing business with the Federal government are not able to discriminate against their LGBT employees. San Diegans know that who you are or who you love should not result in discrimination.

Transgender Servicemembers

In 2017, Scott offered an amendment to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act that would bar funds from being used to implement President Trump’s ban on transgender folks serving in the U.S. military. Trump’s ban has been blocked by courts and transgender people can enlist in the military as of the beginning of this year. San Diegans trust military leaders on this topic: any qualified servicemembers should be able to serve, no matter their gender identity.
