Kamala Harris Will Advance Lesbian & Gay Rights- Running Mate by ShoeGetSize(op): 10:52am On Sep 13, 2024
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.

The gay and lesbian rights are not yet accepted in most countries. It's a taboo in most cultures.. It's a right for them in USA but they should not impose it on others

Gays and Lesbians have been designated psychologically as mentally insane. A vote for Kamala is a vote for insanity and the mentally deranged. These same group of people also support abortion.

How did they impose it on you? Hateful people just speak without providing context.
Just to massage the hate in their hearts.
