LGBTQ activists warn they will feel slighted if President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump ignore them during Thursday night’s debate.
“This will be an enormous slight to our community if LGBTQ questions are not asked during this debate,” lamented Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of the advocacy organization GLAAD. “Our community is deeply affected by where these candidates stand.”
Ellis used a letter to press CNN moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper to plead to be noticed and ask the 2024 presidential aspirants about their past statements and policies.
heir respective plans to “advance the rights” of LGBTQ people if they are elected in November should also be part of the dialogue to ensure the sensibilities of the LGBTQ community are not ignored.
