It didn’t take long for progressives to turn on Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) after she announced Friday that she was throwing her hat in the ring for 2020. Her cardinal sin? Not only did she previously hold anti-gay views—she actively worked against the LGBT community through her father’s organization, The Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values, in the early 2000s.

She was one of the few to openly oppose Obama’s Syria policy.

You must genuflect before the altar of sodomy and perversion.

Uh oh. Narrative clash on the Left. Her cucking on this will probably reach GOPe levels.

Typical Democrat. They don’t flip flop, they “evolve”. Political prostitution?

Just be patient, Rep. Gabbard! You are a Democrat. You WILL be forgiven. It might take a couple of kowtows, but you will be forgiven.

Just remember what Hillary said back in 2000. Who cares about it now?

“Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman.”

Hillary Clinton

I wonder if she might’ve been a conservative if she’d been brought up just about anywhere except Hawaii.

Probably the least crazy of all the Democratic candidates. Plus she’s good looking and therefore a threat to Harris and Warren. So she’s gotta go.

“Not only did she previously hold anti-gay views”

I wish conservative writers wouldn’t adopt the Orwellian terminology of the left. i.e. “anti-gay”, “anti-LGBTQLMNOPQ” and such.

Has she been denied a position on any committees yet? Ala king? So to speak. ;-)

I respect a person who will stick to their principles when others oppose them. No respect for those who change for political expediency, or don’t want to be odd man out. If it is wrong, it is wrong. If it is right, it is right. Just because society says something, it isn’t always that way. She is the “finger in the wind” type.

Tulsi Gabbard is part Samoan, Hindu, a surfer, and a major in the Hawaii National Guard with combat zone experience. Respect.

Rep. Gabbard will be OK. She's doing all the right things now. Here's a recent photo of her appearing before a LGBT organization.

Or, she can go with traditional marriage and demonstrate that weird sex isn’t a universal goal of the left.

Her good looks are a HUGE threat to all Democrat wannabe’s, and she will not be tolerated. That contrast will be glaringly large on debate stage. Which is why her candidacy will be killed off soon.

If there are homosexuals who want to be cured, then helping them escape sodomy is the loving thing to do.
