ShoeGetSize: WASHINGTON — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz touted Vice President Kamala Harris’ record of defending LGBTQ rights on Saturday night, pledging to a supportive crowd that she will advance their cause if elected president.
Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, headlined the national dinner for the Human Rights Campaign, which he praised as “the best party in the nation.” He entered the sprawling ballroom of 3,500 attendees to John Mellencamp’s “Small Town” and a boisterous standing ovation from members of the nation’s largest LGBTQ organization.
He noted how Harris worked alongside President Joe Biden to issue executive orders protecting the rights of LGBTQ people in health care, the military and education.
“And the reason she did it was pretty simple. Kamala Harris believes in equal justice under law, and that means proper, complicated, equal justice under law. It is not to be debated,” Walz said. “It’s not that difficult.”
Transgender youth and adults are facing growing restrictions in red states. Last year, HRC declared an emergency for LGBTQ people in the United States because of the proliferation of state laws restricting their rights. If elected, Republican Donald Trump has said he would replicate some of those restrictions at the federal level.
Not long after Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Harris for president, HRC announced that it, too, would back her. The organization also applauded her selection of Walz as her running mate, citing his own long record of supporting LGBTQ youth and backing same-sex marriage.
On Saturday night, Walz recounted how he taught social studies and coached football at a Minnesota high school in the 1990’s — and was unexpectedly approached by a student asking him to serve as the faculty adviser of the Gay-Straight Alliance.
He also outlined a litany of Harris’s achievements on LGBTQ issues, recalling an episode in when, as attorney general of California, she had to personally call a Los Angeles clerk who was declining to issue marriage license to same-sex couples.
Hey, maga homophobia and hate is so old school bro. Hatred will not win this election for the rapist and racist felon trump. Mind your business, and let adults love who they want to love.
The US presidential candidate of the Republican party and former President of the United States of America,Donald Trump ,recently made a statement on abortion, claiming that most states allow for the killing of infants after birth.
However, this statement has been widely fact-checked and debunked as inaccurate.
In reality, no state in the US allows for the killing of infants after birth. While some states have enacted laws protecting access to abortion, these laws vary widely and are often subject to ongoing legal challenges.
Medical professionals and organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), have also rejected Trump's claim, emphasizing that abortion care is a crucial aspect of reproductive healthcare and that claims about "killing infants" are misleading and inflammatory.
Rapist felon trump is one of the most disgusting liars of this century. How did we ever become so numb to bare faced lies from disgraced politicians?
News you won't see on nairaland because russian friendly mods will be pissed. Reminds them of Jan 6th.
The Department of Homeland Security has just designated the Jan. 6 counting and certification of electoral votes as a national special security event — affording it a level of security similar to events like the State of the Union and the Super Bowl. @MSNBC
Hey basilico loco, see the change your fellow maga cultists wrought on us. I guess you'll be glad for it to repeat itself again, right?
VP Harris had two "sold-out" rallies in North Carolina, but the russian friendly moderators on nairaland won't let people see it. They'll keep nigerians deluded thinking the rapist trump has gas meanwhile in reality and on the ground, he is getting trounced.
At the end what matters is the real american voter in America and not what one brain dead maga cultist like basilico loco or fake pastor olaadegbu spreads on nairaland.
The rapist felon trump had a serious senile dementia moment in Arizona hours ago. But you won't see it here and basilico loco the deranged maga cultist won't even get to see it.
He calls Tim Walz the current Vice President Lmao Then says Pennsylvania should go out to vote while he is Arizona. And some other deranged shit and lies.
basilico loco, let me ask you one question! Do you ever, i mean ever, watch your rapist overlord's rallies? Like do you ever watch every minute of it? I BET YOU DON'T FOO.
The rapist and racist traitor is done.
I've given up trying to show maga cultists that the rapist needs to be committed to an elderly home.
I hope they find out themselves that their racist overlord is already cooked.
Konkoja: It's interesting and sad at the same time. What would these mob do when Trump is defeated in November?
They will be totally depleted. We are gonna have quite a number of maga cultists telling us they never supported the rapist felon trump in the first place lol.
IjeBos: It's also seems Canada already denied your asylum case and you've been booted back to Nigeria. If you were still in Surrey (which is equivalent to US West Coast time), it would have been 4am when you wrote this post.
Ah that was too harsh naaa I bet he will never recover from this
kingbee90: I haven't agreed that Donald Trump is a rapist. I won't engage you in this discussion since you can't communicate clearly without insults.
I really don't have time for deranged maga cultists. No matter how cool you wanna act, your morality is in question if you think a vile hateful racist and sexual assaulter is your standard of a man you want to be like.
kingbee90: Like all of us, he has his weaknesses and being randy with women may be one of his just like Bill Clinton . But that doesn't mean he is not a great leader and not deserved to be reelected.
You agree he is a rapist. Check.
But a great leader? You better get your head checked.
Well, convince me he is a great leader and i'll sell you a golden bible.
Nope, but he's raped women all his life - his dead wife, a 13 year old girl and E. Jean Carrol. There's many more women who have come forward to say the old swanky traitor is a rapist.
It won't be a surprise Russian people give killer putin the Gaddafi treatment. Strong men have been killed and destroyed before. Killer putin won't be different.
No wonder he's been paying maga right wing idiots obscene amount to sway people away from democracy and to the rapist felon trump who wants to be a dictator.
kesikeller: Do you know how many musicians that endorsed Hilary Clinton and yet she still lost, they won't tell u that more than 200 billionaires have endorsed Trump that's why when kamala will lose people will still cry again.
Hey bro I hope you know the rapist lost in 2020 or you didn't live through that time? Are you a time traveller skipping time lol.
It's only Nigerian nairaland maga cultists who are not grounded in reality to know that the coalition President Biden didnt have in 2020 and yet still defeated the rapist is all full blown for VP Harris now.
If I was the rapist felon I'll be making a deal with the DOJ now or find a way to quickly flee to Hungary or Russia lol
RealityKings: Lol I will try my best to remind you about this
Get lost. All those fake confidence and vile threats from maga cultists don't work anymore. They didn't work in 2020, and even when the maga idiots ransacked the Capitol on January 6th, it didn't work.
So shove it up your ass and accept that the rapist felon can never beat this larger than life Coalition to protect democracy.
Ibime, the loser is calling for a 2nd Debate. remember trump wanted 3 she says 1 thinking her friends at ABC will help her destroy Trump. they failed now she is begging Trump for a 2nd debate.
@mowers: Reuters had 60% of voters who said that they moved to Trump after watching the debate. The reason they gave was that Kamala was evasive on the economy.
Independent leans towards trump after the debate
Wow. This independent voter completely tore Kamala Harris apart.
This is brilliant.
She was hoping Kamala would actually give her some answers, but Kamala left her with more doubts and concerns.

Tell me, are the people circulating the rumours the same people who believe a 34X FELON, adulterer, rapist and PEDOPHILE was personally handpicked by Jesus Christ to be the saviour of America?
A career Prosecutor took the stage and brutally PROSECUTED a career CRIMINAL and fools are acting shocked.
