Timilty has repeatedly stood in the way of equality for LGBTQ residents. After Massachusetts established marriage equality in 2003, Timilty voted to opposite that victory with a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. In 2007, he again stood against equality, voting in favor of a proposed ballot question to overturn marriage equality.

Recently, friends and I were discussing Timilty’s harmful voting record.
