Joe Biden continues to dig holes for himself with gaffes, even when he means well.
During a campaign fundraiser in Seattle on Saturday, the former vice president tried to illustrate how far the United States has come when it comes to the treatment of the LGBT community, but he apparently missed the mark.
Biden claimed that just five years ago, it would have been acceptable for a businessman to make “fun of a gay waiter,” the Washington Examiner reported. Those in attendance at the event, which took place at the home of public relations executive and gay rights activist Roger Nyhus, made it clear that was not the case - at least not in their city.
“Not in Seattle!” people called out, claiming that homophobic comments would not have been condoned in 2014.
The point of Biden’s remarks, delivered as the LGBT community and their allies celebrated Pride Weekend, was that the United States has made progress. He said the hypothetical businessman he spoke of “would not be invited back” today.
Biden also spoke about how he supported same-sex marriage when he was vice president, according to the Seattle Times, telling White House officials that the American people were in favor of this, even if leadership was lagging behind on the issue.
This latest misstep comes soon after Biden made tried to rehabilitate his image when it comes to race relations, only to be called out by opponent Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.
"That kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger," Biden said, illustrating the dangers of stereotyping while invoking the image of Trayvon Martin, a black teen who was shot in 2012.
Booker was not satisfied with how Biden made his point.

Gaydar?
I don’t know Pete’s favored position.
Just a guess.
Never mess with people who serve you food. Never send anything back. Just don’t go back if you’re not satisfied.
How far the U.S. has fallen.
Plus, if you find a restaurant you really like,
never, ever go back into its kitchen.
Does Shotgun Joe the Groping Pedo know that most Male Flight Attendants are Gay and have been working in the industry for decades?
Does he not watch House Hunters on HGTV or tune into those Real Estate Shows on Bravo where half the Agents are Gay?
The dude is an ignorant Fossil who has been tolerated simply because he is a loyal Party Member.
Making fun of a gay waiter five years ago? Joe that was while you and Barry were in the White House setting an example for the children wasn’t it?
Welcome to the world you liberals helped to create, Joe.
Practise by spotting the gay male flight attendent
Then, move up to a bigger challenge, spotting the gay adult male waiter
Shhh, do not tell Shotgun Joe that Barry Soetoro is gay
Nobody deserves it more than Joe Biden after opening his campaign calling Trump a racist.
I won a little over 1200 dollars in a 5-10 no limit with the Gay Waiter. The 8-3 is called the Gay waiter, let’s see if anybody can figure how it got that name.
I’m amazed you would overhear any conversation. Whenever we find out conversation stops when the waiter approaches the table. It isn’t planned it just happens.
“Wow...I was a waiter a quarter of a century ago and it wasn’t acceptable. And we had several on the staff at the time. I don’t recall any of them being made fun of. People were generally polite back then.”
Back in the day, I needed a job and took one at a drive in restaurant where all the waiters were gay except me. There was no abuse to the gays, only the straights - me. It goes both ways you know.
That was in a movie? That must be where he got it from!
gay waiter
In poker, a slang term for holding a queen and a three of any suit.
I got dealt a gay waiter in that game of Texas Hold ‘Em we played last night.
“If you wonder how I knew, don’t ever assume your waiter isn’t listening to your conversation.”
One place I worked at long ago actually wired the drop lights, so we could listen-in on what they were saying. It was interesting, to say the least, particularly right after bringing out the food. But the funny thing is, it did make us more responsive!
