He wants to protect same-sex families.

In 1993, Sanders voted against an amendment that would ban same-sex couples in Washington, DC, from adopting children.

More recently, he’s backed the Every Child Deserves a Family Act (ECDFA), which prohibits child-welfare agencies receiving federal aid from discriminating against any potential foster or adoptive family on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. In addition, ECDFA prevents discrimination against any foster youth because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
