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.”

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!

It's just a birth defect like any other,
I disagree - I'm not a fan of the "born that way" Lady Gaga viewpoint that "Being straight, gay, or bisexual is not something that a person can choose or choose to change" although strong evidence was found that some homosexual men are born homosexual. (not buying that just yet)
This seems to be the official default position now: Despite myths and misconceptions, there is no evidence that being gay is caused by early childhood experiences, parenting styles, or the way someone is raised."
That simply isn't true - another example of the alphabet people controlling the narrative. Plenty of studies making that connection between the two - a lot of them have been memory-holed. I'm surprised Wikipedia still has the studies on their site.
Interesting thought - if genetic testing at some future time can pre-determine whether the child will be born homo or not, will the LBGTQ freaks demand that abortions be denied if you want to abort a "homosexual" fetus?
