Mike Pompeo has personal ties to anti-LGBTQ hate and extremism that make him wholly unqualified to serve as Secretary of State.
During his confirmation hearing last week Mike Pompeo told Americans to “look at his record” when he was confronted by Sen. Shaheen, Sen. Booker, and Sen. Coons about his anti-LGBTQ record. So go ahead, take a look. You can CLICK HERE to read GLAAD's research on Mike Pompeo’s personal anti-LGBTQ record and close ties to the designated anti-LGBTQ hate group Family Research Council, which openly supported Uganda’s efforts to punish and execute LGBTQ citizens – known as the “Kill the Gays Bill.”

My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am a constituent from [YOUR CITY AND POSTAL CODE]. I am calling to urge [SENATOR] to oppose Mike Pompeo for the position of Secretary of State. Mike Pompeo's anti-LGBTQ views and ties to anti-LGBTQ hate groups make him unqualified to serve as our nation's top diplomat.
