For the first time since the dramatic change in public opinion around gay rights, Democratic presidential candidates will be invited to participate in a forum focused exclusively on LGBT policies.
The event is scheduled for Oct. 10, the eve of National Coming Out Day. Hosted by the Human Rights Campaign and the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, the 2020 candidates will discuss topics related to hate crimes, bullying and transgender rights.
The HRC Foundation held presidential forums for Democratic primary candidates in 2004 and 2008. In 2012 and 2016, it did not hold one for the large Republican primary fields.
Since that 2008 forum, public attitudes and laws have moved rapidly in favor of LGBT people. That year, 55 percent of Americans believed gay and lesbian relations between consenting adults should be legal, according to Gallup polling. By May 2018, that opinion had risen to 75 percent.
In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama supported civil unions between same-sex couples, but not marriage a position he said he evolved on over his presidency.
Since 2013, the first openly bisexual woman and the first openly gay man and woman of color have been elected to Congress.
In the past decade, same-sex marriage has become federally enforced, attacks against someone based on sexual orientation or gender identity have been added to the list of federal hate crimes, and the law banning LGBT Americans from serving openly in the military has been repealed.
President Trump has supported policies that have undermined LGBT rights such as his ban on transgender people serving in the military and his nomination of judges hostile to some legal protections.

foot fetishists and necrophilesThose are not on the agenda.
But pedophiles are definitely on the agenda.
Bathhouse Barry.
Will they be debating the numerous dangerous and deadly diseases that sodomites are astronomically more prone to based solely on behavior?
I doubt it.
I wonder if reverse hate crimes regarding Jussie Smollet will come up?
The only “issue” left is kid diddling. Is that their platform?
Yes. Kid diddling is their platform. The only questions are how open they will be about it and how soon.
LGB is simple perversion. "T" is that plus mental illness. I have a whole lot more sympathy for those with other mental illnesses, but I also feel sorry for those who encounter the most cheerleading they have ever experienced when they mention something "trans". It's hard for a weak person to resist that flood of seemingly positive attention. They are victims of the left's malice and evil, just like so many others, and that's a shame.
I’m so tired of hearing about gay this and that in the mainstream. It’s nothing new. Gay people have been on earth since the beginning of time doing what they do. We don’t have a theocracy so they are free to be what they are, which has since become socially acceptable to modern society. What more do they want? Live and let live stop pushing your sexuality to the forefront like you are special flowers. As a Christian that read God’s word I don’t believe they are doing what is morally sound in God’s eyes but that is between them and their maker. Why must they be “lauded” for merely have sex with their own sex? WHO CARES???
Sick to the back teeth over this weird agenda that’s being pushed. BE GAY ALL YOU WANT But please for the love of the universe stop preaching to us about it! You are not special.
As evil as the world is now, I dont think it is nearly as evil as it was in the days of Noah. I think we are getting there, but we are not there yet. One would have to have a good idea, of exactly what was going on in the days of Noah. I think it was FAR more evil than we can imagine.
I dont think Genesis 6:5 tells us what was going on, Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13, and Amos 2:9 do. 👍😁
You want to stop the spew? Stop calling them ‘gay’ and use the original wording: they are degenerates. Being a homosexual is a spiritual rebellion to what God designed. It is a degenerating behavior away from the normative God designed.

I’m thinking Biden is gonna dominate the debates.
His handlers will study Trump’s work in 2016.
So many unknowns.
How big the population was back then?
How many were sons of Cain?
How many were sons of Seth (not many apparently)?
Technology? (I think it was better than what we currently have personally)
Spiritual interaction?
Were portals open (I bet they were)?
Interesting.
