Buttigieg: Trump administration not 'proud' of LGBTQ policy
DES MOINES, Iowa — Democratic White House hopefuls on Saturday attacked President Donald Trump as harmful to LGBTQ Americans and promised if elected they would not just restore gay rights but expand them.
"You do not have the epidemic of violence against transgender Americans until you have a president who dishonors the service of transgender Americans with his transgender troop ban," he said."Let's each and every single one of us stand up against it." "The administration under my presidency will be the most gay rights-friendly in the history of the world," Gillibrand said.
In addition to speaking at Saturday's forum, a handful of presidential candidates fanned out across Des Moines on Friday night and Saturday morning, greeting voters at the gay pride celebration. Gillibrand bartended at a local gay bar Friday night, and O'Rourke ran in a 5k Saturday morning, while Sanders and others walked the streets of the gay pride fair.
