JOE BIDEN/LGBTQ/MILITARY: “Nine years ago, our nation took a big step toward justice, fairness, and equality by repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell… I remain proud today to stand with the LGBTQ+ community in their tireless pursuit of equality and human rights.
Generations of Americans, many of them LGBTQ+, have shed blood around the world in defense of our freedoms and to protect U.S. vital interests. But instead of honoring them, President Trump denigrates their sacrifice, calling our fallen service members ‘losers’ and ‘suckers.’”
