How is it specifically different from earlier platform?

"Democrats applaud last year's decision by the Supreme Court that recognized that LGBT people -- like other Americans -- have the right to marry the person they love," the platform says. "But there is still much work to be done. LGBT kids continue to be bullied at school, restaurants can refuse to serve transgender people, and same-sex couples are at risk of being evicted from their homes. That is unacceptable and must change."

The 2012 platform did not have anything like this in it.

So was Clinton I, back in the 90s.
What we got was DOMA, DADT, and other such.

I'm a supporter of Clinton, but well aware of the lying and throwing under buses. I was among them and I do remember.

It's because of the Republicans stonewalling and forcing Dems to compromise. They did the same thing with healthcare reform, too. Every time the Dems propose a progressive measure, the Repubs throw a fit and block it entirely, or force the Dems to strip it down to almost nothing.

The political expediency of supporting LBG is settled and I am confident that the Clinton's support is now rock solid. Because I trust them to be politically expedient.
The T thing, not so much. There is still a lot of controversy about that and I would not bank on their support after the election unless people are ready to hold their toes to the fire.

Nah, the Dems are fully on board with trans rights.

Revelation all the time
I feel so much more empowered now that Dems are taking on the rights of us B people.
Not sure what, if anything, has changed - but dag nabbit, they are looking out for us!
How?
I honestly don't believe anyone actually knows.

Trump has a great relationship with the gays. Believe me folks. We're going to win again. We're going to win so big.

You been watching and reading Milo Yiannopoulos? :laughing: I do think the Trump fan-base among all sorts of minorities is larger than commonly portrayed. Definitely among Hispanics.

I do have to admit though, he really owns the image of it, and it's become a very essential part of his image, like Nietzsche's walrus mustache, or Engel's treebeard of a beard, or Marx's hair and beard that merged into one.

I'd rather take my chances with the Dems than with what we have seen from the Reps and Pence.

You know I totally agree. The Dems are light years ahead of the Reps. I'm just saying that I don't trust the Clintons after they get elected. You have to watch them and hold them to the terms of the platform. Queers are not a big constituency and easy to forget as I found out.
