Hawaii’s Gabbard apologizes for past LGBTQ statements

Presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday responded to criticism about her past work advocating against gay rights by apologizing in a video.

The Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii has apologized for such statements before. But she has come under renewed criticism since she announced during a CNN interview last week that she would run for president.

Gabbard, 37, campaigned against same-sex marriage with the group Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values when she was a state representative in her 20s. Gabbard’s father, who is now a state senator and was a Honolulu City Councilman, founded the organization to lobby against same-sex marriage.

She should just become a Republican, she seems out of step with the demoncraps. Being a vet and all.

They intend that we all submit.

Just like muslims.

Islam kills queers.

Doesn’t add up.

Wonder when there will be a push to change the Constitution to allow Occasionally Kotex from New York to run for President in 2020.

Soros has told the AssPress and other media outlets to clear the field for the ignorant slut Kamala Harris.

She’s in big trouble. To have ever been against homosexual marriage, is among the biggest sins she could be guilty of.

People such as Obama and Hillary are allowed to say they evolved and get a pass. But her having worked for laws for traditional marriage is going to sink her.

Do you side with your own father or the political winds which your party has trimmed its sails to? Your political party of course, if you’re a Democrat.

Gabbard added she knows LGBTQ people still face discrimination and fear their rights will be taken away “by people who hold views like I used to.”

Yep, resetting all offical positions and opinions to 100% pc useless.

One of my favorite books when I was a kid in school was Profiles in Courage. One of the stories that stands out is that of the senator from Kansas who refused to vote for Andrew Johnson's removal, even though the folks back home wanted his scalp. The decision ruined the senator's career. As I recall, he couldn't even go back to Kansas. I guess that book doesn't get read much nowadays.

WTF exactly is a gay right? All they have are opinions,feelings and made up privileges they call rights. They just make sh*t up out of thin air because they are insecure mentally ill attention whores who also know that their victim status yields incredible wealth and political power. Politicians who cower to these gay hustlers are spineless frauds.

Agreed. She has no future as a national candidate. The LGBT party brooks no dissenters (including past ones).

Apologize to whom? A pack of hapless individuals who can't accept or figure out what gender they are? No apologies issuing here - just condemnation upon the social engineers who have overturned eons of tradition, wisdom and civilization.

“Gay rights” is the right to force others to give up their rights. Like “You bake me a gay wedding cake even if you disagree with it”.
