Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Blair Hull expressed ‘outrage’ March 6 at Republican Illinois Sen. Peter Fitzgerald’s latest opposition to gay rights.
Fitzgerald told a constituent during an open forum that he does not back federal legislation banning employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.
‘Illinois deserves elected leaders who will fight discrimination any time,’ Hull said, adding that his former company, Hull Trading, his current company, Matlock Capital, and his Hull for Senate campaign, all have gone beyond legal requirements to adopt employment policies inclusive of ‘race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or citizenship.’
