Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that “we allow the homophobes to be able to control the agenda” when it comes to LGBTQ equality.
The Democratic presidential candidate spoke Thursday at the CNN LGBTQ forum in Los Angeles focusing on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer issues. Biden spoke heatedly about discrimination toward LGBTQ people he suggested can cause individuals to lose their job a day after getting married.
“The American people are better than we give them credit for, but we allow — we allow the homophobes to be able to control the agenda,” Biden said.
“No, I really mean it. I really, truly mean it,” he added. (RELATED: Warren And Buttigieg Release LGBTQ Rights Plans Ahead Of CNN Town Hall)
Biden said he wanted to keep educating the public on LGBTQ issues.
“Part of the responsibility of a president is to convince, is to persuade, is to be able to let people know what is actually going on out there.”
The Biden campaign did not yet respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation as to who specifically Biden is calling “homophobes.”
Poster Comment:
Let’s build a country where a very small percent of the population decides what’s good for the rest. It’s called “inclusion”. For example, we could have persons who are confused about their gender or disagree with their physical characteristics decide that there have to be special facilities just for them and that we need to let them have all the parades they want to celebrate their perversity. We will coin new pronouns for our dictionaries in their honor, make special rules to protect them and eliminate any holidays (like “Mother’s Day” or “Christmas”) that offend them. We want to be inclusive and fair!
If with this flimsy "ammunition" Biden is counting on the number of LBGTQ sympaticos to put him over the top in an election OVER the Normals, he's even more insane than anyone imagined.
