Some of Biden’s allies worry about waning support among LGBTQ voters.

The Human Rights Campaign, recently committed to spend $15 million in six battleground states to help Biden win in November, citing concerns about waning support from LGBTQ voters. HRC estimates that this year one-third of the 75 million “equality voters” — who vote based on support for LGBTQ rights — might not be guaranteed Biden voters.

    The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.

    All the shit Biden is doing is symbolic, which doesn’t pay the damn bills

    HRC is nothing but gatekeepers for the DNC.

      I mean, no, they’re changes to law and policy which is literally not symbolic. But you can just say whatever, you’re free to do that I guess.

      The HRC has long been a corporate controlled piece of shit org that activist LGBTQ+ don’t support. Former HRC President Chad Griffin worked in the Clinton White House. During Bernie vs Clinton instead of having the members vote who to have the org endorse, he made the decision to bypass them and endorse Hillary. Their own website had her at an 87% for supporting LGBTQ Rights while they had Bernie at a 99%. After their social media pages were bombarded with that, they removed the rankings from their website.

      Anyways, here’s some other reasons LGBTQ+ that pay attention don’t like the HRC…

      Human Rights Campaign Under Fire in LGBT Community. Queer groups call foul on the largest LGBT nonprofit, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), for glorifying corporations the groups consider to be downright dirty.
