Bob Casey’s staff identifies as LGBTQ, while Sen. John Fetterman’s staff was pinned at 28% LGBTQ, good for third place.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat who is being courted as a potential third-party presidential candidate by the No Labels group, had the lowest ranking, with no LGBTQ staff . “At a time when the LGBTQ community is under constant threat from extremists and the courts, I’m proud to have a team that is made stronger because of the life experiences and perspective this community brings to it,” Fetterman said in a statement to PennLive.
Then-Lt. Gov. John Fetterman displayed flags on the balcony of his office at the state Capitol to show support for marijuana legalization and for extending the state's anti-discrimination protections to cover matters of sexual orientation and gender identity. The LGBTQ Pride flags were displayed on either side of a Marijuana Leaf Weed Rainbow Gay Lesbian Pride flag in January 2021. Dan Gleiter | dgleiter@pennlive.
