LGBTQ rights
The political committees MyRepTracker categorizes as advancing lgbtq rights, the document behind each categorization, and the campaigns their money reached. Contributions and independent spending are kept apart and never added.
What this categorization claims
This is a claim MyRepTracker makes, not a field the FEC publishes. The commission publishes a committee's designation, its type, its party, its connected organization, and the organizational form it reported. What no filing states is the economic or ideological interest a committee advances, so each committee below carries the document this categorization was made from, and a reader can open it and check the sentence against it.
LGBTQ rights sits in the Ideological and single-issue sector of taxonomy interest-1.7. Only committees whose primary assignment is in force are counted in the figures below. A committee tagged with this interest beside another one is shown and never summed, so no dollar is counted under two interests.
These figures add up all 5,784 stored campaign records.
What the records place under this interest
Each figure below is its own kind of money and they are never added to each other. A contribution a campaign received is money the campaign controls; independent spending is money no campaign is allowed to control, and it counts for one candidate by counting against another.

The committees carrying this interest
1 committees carry this as their primary interest, which is the assignment the figures above count. 0 carry it beside another interest, shown here and counted under their own primary one so no dollar is spent twice. 0 have an assignment nobody has promoted, which counts under no interest at all.
Categorized is not the same as reviewed. Most assignments were made by machine from the committee's own filing rather than read by a person, and each one below says which it is. A machine-categorized entry's source establishes who sponsors the committee; the sector is MyRepTracker's categorization of that sponsor.
