The LGBT Democratic Club of Tompkins County is open to registered Democrats who share the goals of the group and want to support full inclusion of the LGBT community within the broader culture.

Our mission is to secure for all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people the equal human and civil rights guaranteed to all citizens by the Constitution of the United States, to foster the ideals of the Democratic Party and to contribute to the Party's growth and influence.

To achieve this mission, the LGBT Democratic Club will work to:

  • define and implement the platform policies of the Democratic Party at local, state, and national levels to reflect the needs and desires of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community;
  • encourage active participation of the LGBT community and its allies in Democratic Party activities at the local, state and national levels;
  • register voters who support the Club's mission and encourage their participation in the electoral process;
  • advocate for legislation consistent with the Club's mission;
  • evaluate candidates for public office and actively support those candidates who best support the Club's mission;
  • evaluate ballot measures and advise the community of the Club's recommendations;
  • actively support the election of qualified lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender candidates for public office;
  • educate public officials, candidates for public office, and the general community on political issues of importance to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community; build coalitions with other organizations that support the Club's mission
  • include underrepresented and diverse groups within our community in order to bring about greater harmony and understanding and increase the Club's visibility and influence by participation in community activities and events.
