"Santorum signs sexual orientation non-discrimination policy After a meeting with a Pennsylvania-based activist Adrian Shanker, US Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) has signed onto a letter affirming that his office does not discriminate in hiring on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, PageOneQ has learned. Santorum is the 170th member of Congress to sign the statement. In a statement issued by GenderPAC, the Gender Public Advocacy Coalition, executive director Riki Wiliams said, "We welcome Sen.

Shanker, who is enrolled in Muhlenberg College in Alletown, met with Santorum as part of GenderYOUTH, a network of more than 200 activists around the nation. GenderYOUTH is a program of GenderPAC.

Shanker was referring to Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA)"
