On Saturday, Vice President Joe Biden who is considering a 2016 presidential run pledged his full support for gay and transgender equality. He also suggested Republicans and other White House candidates are “homophobes.”
As reported by Fox News, while speaking at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual gala Biden said gays and lesbians should not fear Americans trying to undo gay marriage because the country has moved beyond homophobia.He said:
There’s homophobes still left. Most of them are running for president, I think.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
The LGBT community and Human Rights Campaign is a very important voting block for Democrats. The group contributed $1.17 million in 2014 mostly to the Democratic Party and their candidates, committees and leadership PACS.
Biden has also declared the transgender rights to be “the civil rights issue of our time.”
He is going to make his decision if he is going to run by this week and a lot of people think he is going to.Although Biden has previously had strong support from gay groups, many prominent gay Democrats have already endorsed Hillary Clinton. She even drew loud cheers whenever her face appeared in videos before Biden’s speech.
