I really hope straight people don't circumvent tonight's #LGBTQforum to make it all about them yet again.
On Oct. 8 the US Solicitor General was arguing--on your tax dollars--that lesbian, gay and trans Americans are non-persons under the law. This is still a real thing.

In 2019, LGBTQ Americans are 2nd class non-person entities without any of the most basic protections that everyone else in America has.
Every lesbian I know, including me & The Wife, has been fired from at least one job for being gay. I was 19 the 1st time I was denied a lease.2/

The Wife and I have been together for 20yrs. But it has only been legal for us to marry for four--or file a joint tax return. It would not be legal for us to foster or adopt a child in most states. The biases against LGBTQ people in every arena are extreme and life-altering.

Extraordinary piece from @nytimes on #LGBTQforum
In the relentless MSM effort to keep Biden ascendant, zero mention of @KamalaHarris and her long record on groundbreaking support for LGBTQ people.

Nor was there any mention of @ewarren's deeply moving recitation of the names of murdered trans women--18 this year so far, two in 10 days. No mention of @amyklobuchar who got fierce applause, nor @JulianCastro, a longtime LGBTQ supporter.

While @CoryBooker Is mentioned, it is mostly reactively to Biden. With the exception of @KamalaHarris, few Dem politicians can claim the level of commitment Booker has shown to LGBTQ community.
Oh also, @PeteButtigieg is actually gay and his candidacy is historic.
