Former US Vice President Joe Biden said he would withhold foreign aid from countries persecuting LGBTQ people. READ HERE: sabcnews

Biden, the front-runner in the Democratic race, struggled to articulate his positions during the previous forum, particularly his vote as a US senator for a military funding bill that included the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that banned harassment of closeted gay soldiers but barred those who were out from military service..

Buttigieg spoke about his experience as a gay man. He recounted serving in the military in Afghanistan while he was still closeted and realising he might die without being able to know what it was like to fall in love and marry. Gay rights advocates have expressed dismay at the Trump administration’s record on LGBTQ issues, including a ban on transgender individuals serving in the US military.

All three support the Equality Act, like most other Democrats, which would explicitly add LGBTQ protections to federal anti-discrimination law. All three candidates promised to elevate LGBTQ concerns as president. Warren said she would appoint a special envoy at the State Department, while Harris said she would create a White House position, chief advocate for LGBTQ+ Affairs, to coordinate efforts across the entire federal government.
