WASHINGTON, D.C., October 5, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Vice President Joe Biden equated gender ideology with civil rights in a recent speech, at the same time calling marriage supporters homophobic.
Gays and lesbians should not fear "those shrill voices" working to oppose homosexual "marriage," Biden said, because Americans "have moved so far beyond them and their appeals to prejudice and fear and homophobia."
The potential Democrat presidential contender also took the occasion to attack the character of candidates from across the political aisle, stating, "There's homophobes still left – most of them are running for president."
Biden used his remarks before the annual dinner for the homosexual activist group the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to advance his support for allowing those suffering from gender dysphoria to serve openly in the military.
"No longer is there any question transgender people are able to serve in the United States military," Biden said, according to a Huffington Post report.
The White House began to take steps to remove the ban on "transgender" soldiers in the military over the summer, the first stage being a several-month study assessing potential impact on the military's readiness to fight. The change, among other things, would include forcing taxpayers to fund hormone replacement therapy for "transgender" troops.
The administration's push for acceptance of gender ideology in the military has mirrored Obama's policies throughout his time in office.
Biden also told the homosexual activist audience Saturday night that "transgender rights" are "the civil rights issue of our time."
The vice president and self-identified Catholic has long been a supporter of the homosexual movement, beating fellow Democrats Obama and potential presidential rival Hillary Clinton to the punch in 2012 as the first high-ranking official to endorse homosexual "marriage."
His outspoken support for both homosexual "marriage" and abortion has drawn criticism from Catholics and others.
Biden was not the homosexual activist group's first choice as keynote speaker for the dinner, according to the report.
Instead, it was Clinton who turned it down once she was booked to appear on "Saturday Night Live" that night. The group also asked Obama to appear, and then invited Biden when Obama was unavailable.
Well 10 and 1/2 for sure.
If I had to choose I’d rather be a “homophobe” than a homo, Homo Joe.
I agree - what the heck is that word supposed to mean anyway ? I know they use it as an insult, but for what?
Homonauseated is more appropriate, IMO.
It's not stupid it's cleverly diabolically engineered to manipulate. Phobia has a feminine aspect built into it so you are being called a chicken. You are being called afraid of an effeminate person implying that you are even less masculine.
What else can one expect from the “They’ll put y’all back in chains” guy?
Dungeon Master beat you by seven minutes...
Speaking of Biden, Drudge has posted that he may be floating Warren for VP.
Maybe he will come up with a new song and dance video to celebrate his VP...”The Indian vill...a...ges is the real Ame...ri...cans home town”
No one is afraid of homosexuals. They are afraid that the inclusion of their deviant and vile activity in the norms of sexuality will be destructive to the traditional family and subsequently society as a whole. That is a proved fact already.
Biden is comfortable anywhere. The lack of self realization that accompanies the two functioning brain cells allow him to have a good time anywhere. Give him a microphone and some bright lights to stare at and he is happy.
I saw that. Slowing down in my old age... :)
I prefer “Homosexually Misanthropic.”
A crazy thing for Biden to say.
Yes but I was very ashamed of myself.
And CRAZY UNCLE JOE there are amoral liars left who trample on the bonds of their heterosexual marriages

I don’t see Pervert Joe bending over to take it up the pooper. I think Biden is homophobic and until he allows a homosexual to perform sodomy on him he is just homophobic.
Are we afraid of homosexuals? No and yet they use like homophobe.
Stupid is as stupid as.
Just said that and then saw your post. They use words and have no idea what the meaning is to the word.
“Plugs” Biden, the glib moron!
I love it!
