Biden, Castro among 2020 hopefuls to attend Iowa LGBTQ forum

At least four Democratic presidential hopefuls — Joe Biden, Julián Castro, Joe Sestak and Marianne Williamson — are expected to attend an LGBTQ forum in Iowa on Sept. 20.

The event at Coe College in Cedar Rapids will be hosted by One Iowa, a statewide LGBTQ advocacy group; The Gazette, a daily in Eastern Iowa; and The Advocate, an LGBTQ magazine. The candidates will address the audience before a question-and-answer session with the three moderators, one from each of the host organizations.

Courtney Reyes, the interim director of One Iowa, said the event will "focus on LGBTQ people in the heartland and their needs."

“The overarching narrative that LGBTQ people in the U.S. live in urban coastal areas ignores the millions of LGBTQ individuals living and working in the middle of the country,” Reyes wrote in a statement. “We look forward to hearing what the presidential candidates have to say to this often overlooked, but politically powerful community.”

Whoever said equality of opportunity was dead among the Left? Every man, woman, and child has the same opportunity to be groped by Creepy Uncle Joe!

It’s sad that the quality of our politicians has come to that.

“The candidates will address the audience before a question-and-answer session ...”

I wonder why Buttygag isn’t there? Maybe afraid he’d be embarrassed standing on the stage with wood amongst all the fruit.

“politically powerful community.”

And yet the court arguments used to prove “strict scrutiny” as far as “rights” for this perverted group were political powerlessness.
