When Pete Buttigieg stood before thousands in the heart of South Bend, Indiana, to formally announce his entrance into the 2020 race in mid-April, the 37-year-old mayor embraced the historic nature of his quest: if elected, he would be the first openly gay president to occupy the White House.
But in 2019, with three-quarters of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents supporting same-sex marriage, according to a May Pew Research poll, voters are seeing near-universal support across the expansive field of 23 candidates on key issues for the LGBTQ community, such as, the Equality Act, a landmark bill that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in workplaces, schools, etc.
And at the onset of this month, a parade of presidential hopefuls shared messages touting equality for all – part of more widespread embrace of gay rights among Democrats that reflects the broader shift in attitudes toward LGBTQ people – and as a rebuke of the conservative movement’s efforts, often led by President Donald Trump’s administration, to fortify discriminatory policies against the community.
On Vice President Mike Pence’s birthday, former Maryland Congressman John Delaney, a more moderate voice in the 2020 field, declared he is donating money to the Human Rights Campaign, one of the most prominent LGBTQ advocacy groups in the country. “It will be the first thing I ask to be done,” he said, before calling the Trump administration’s efforts to curtail LGBTQ rights, such as barring transgender troops from serving in the U.S. military “wrong” and “immoral.”

Seems like this LGBT is really being played hard in politics . ..
I live here and people are not flocking to it most people think it’s a non issue only the networks mostly fake news want to try to divide everyone and make it something it isn’t!!
give the keys to my daughter's bathroom to biological males? r u out of ur mind? destroy girls n women-sports, scholarships? equality for all-extreme left nonsense bs? no ty.
Which is good unless your a 13 year old kid in a school shower!
As in the days of Noah......
The democrats going to continue to lose if they base their foundation on trendy social issues. Good, old fashioned ethics & moral behavior will ALWAYS win in the long run. You can’t pander to a people as shifty as the letters in their acronym.
Once again blurring the difference between acceptance and promotion
Equality for all? Rights parades exclude officers in uniform, a flag with Jewish star. Rights only for those who think left.
变态啊，恶心
The 2020 Dems must insist the FBI investigate 1992 death of MarshaPJohnson. A main goal of Stonewall riots was to get Mafia out of gay bars, and some suspect Marsha's death was a mob hit because she was ringing alarms about its alleged continued role in gay scene. LGBTQ
It only majes sense radicals would congregate with radicals.
With nothing to run on for President, these democratic candidates are grasping at anything. Economy great, unemployment the lowest ever, wages rising, you would thing the democrats would work together to get healthcare fixed. NO OBSTRUCT.
And for the other 95.5% of Americans. disenfranchisement.

LGBTQ no one cares what you do behind closed doors. But America would be the joke of the world if one of you ran the country. FACT
Homosexuality is not good and therefore does not deserve the privileges. StopLGBTQ
wyf
One doesn't have to be a woman to support women's rights, one need not be Black or Hispanic to support rights of people of color and one does not need to be LGBTQ to support their rights either. Human rights are EVERYONE'S rights! 👍🏼💖🏳️🌈
This..is why Bad Orange Man will win again 🤡👌
If you idiots think this is the 1 issue with voters, you are so screwed!
good
Too funny.
