Vice President Biden: ‘I Don’t Care What Your Culture Is, Prejudice Is Prejudice’
Loudly advocating for gay equality worldwide at a forum for US and international gay rights activists last month, Vice President Joe Biden stated that support for LGBTQ citizens should be an indicator for how civilized a country is considered to be.
Biden also won high praise at another conference, Netroots Nation this past weekend in Detroit, Michigan. Netroots is the nation’s largest gathering of progressive activists, and makes a special effort to promote diversity and inclusion. Many of the attendees this weekend were especially fond of Biden’s contributions to LGBTQ advancement.
“Those of us who hold marriage equality near and dear to our hearts and our homes, we know that Joe Biden spoke first,” said Arshad Hasan, a NetRoots Nation board member, in his introduction of Mr. Biden on Thursday. “I give Joe Biden credit for changing the dialogue in the White House.”
