Joe.My.God. LGBT News
Vox reports:
Former Vice President Joe Biden had a markedly improved performance from the last LGBTQ presidential forum, when he condescended to the woman who was interviewing him both on and off the stage.
But on Thursday, he still often rambled through long stories about how he supported marriage equality within the Obama administration. By giving meandering answers, Biden managed to face less questions than the other candidates. However, a reference to old gay bath houses drew a rebuke from critics on Twitter.
“We talked about this in San Francisco, it was all about, you know gay bath houses. It’s all about round the clock sex, it’s all… c’mon man!” It was a bizarre line that had little to do with modern LGBTQ policy.
The LGBTQ Town Hall went great for Biden, uh pic.twitter.com/QUjQlJI1Xg

Listen I would have been fine going my entire life without hearing Joe Biden day “gay bathhouses! Round the clock sex!” but here we are.
Anyways, go to a bathhouse and have as much sex as you want. Queer liberation doesn’t mean monogamy!

Fox News just did a piece on Biden that said he was talking about same-sex marriage tonight which was a “big change” for Biden because he was all about impeachment last night. Biden spoke tonight at CNN’s LGBTQ town hall

We have to make sure that no hospital or health care provider can discriminate against someone simply because of who they are or whom they love. #EqualityTownHall pic.twitter.com/bVgmfgSA06

I spent my night at the HRC forum talking about the fundamental respect every human being deserves. You spent yours showing how little respect for anyone else you have. America is so much stronger than your weakness, @realDonaldTrump.
