Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, two rival U.S. senators vying for the 2020 presidential nomination, pitched themselves as steadfast allies of LGBT Americans Saturday night, in a bid to appeal to an influential bloc of Democratic voters.

— but with specific nods to the struggles faced by gay Americans and targeted swipes at President Trump.“As long as there’s a president who is banning patriots from serving in the military because they’re transgender, we all have a collective responsibility not to accept things as they are but to take responsibility for changing them,” Booker said.

Harris chastised the Trump administration for not speaking out against mistreatment of gay people by foreign governments. Despite the common themes, their stylistic differences were on display. Booker, speaking with a preacher’s energized cadence, recited spoken word poetry from Langston Hughes, while Harris sounded more like a deliberate, but forceful prosecutor. Both candidates were received warmly by the crowd, with a slight home state advantage going to Harris.

And there was no confusion over whether the group’s Democratic tilt will carry over to the 2020 presidential contest.

Kiss asses.

will Tulsi Gabbard be following?

Kamala along with other positioned elected officials will eventually be tied to the Smollett judicial favoritism ruling. Cory's got a sexual attack of a gay man chasing his political aspirations. This is going to be fun to watch. Will The LGBQTI bloc fall for the pitch again?

Not only do we need TermLimits, 12yrs in, 6yrs out, we need this endless campaigning to stop.

Or maybe - and hear me out, now - they’re just not bigoted assholes?

There isn’t a clear way a politician can act to please at once blacks, hispanics, LGBTQs, liberal Millennials and “lowest common denominator” people. Just present an honest, good program & reforms to serve the people. Period!

Booker is a member, to be accurate..

Pandering

Kamala and Booker are trans-politicians. They take both sides of all political arguments depending on how they identify themselves that day
