Power 50: David Cicilline

Later this spring, Cicilline will introduce a comprehensive LGBT civil rights bill. He tells Out, "No American should ever be fired, or denied housing, the ability to attend school, or to apply for a mortgage, because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. That's why I have been working, along with Senator Jeff Merkley and leaders in the LGBT community, to draft a comprehensive non-discrimination bill that ensures LGBT individuals are afforded the same protections against discrimination as every other American." He's now in his third term.
