Biden and Bernie Vie for LGBT Votes
? ? ? @BernieSanders invoking @JoeBiden’s vote IN SUPPORT OF #DOMA.#DemDebates

Biden claims he’s the first member of a presidential administration to publicly voice support for gay marriage.

Voters Don’t Share the Intersectional Left’s Views
Interesting take on the difference in Sander’s support in 2016 vs. 2020.
I misread Bernie’s broad 2016 ideological coalition as a generic candidate net favorability vote. But it now seems like he combined ideological objections to Hillary from 2 directions, the economic left & the social/racial/gender right, & has mostly retained only the left side
— Matt Grossmann (@MattGrossmann) March 8, 2020
I think both Clinton and Sanders perceived Hillary’s attacks on Bernie as insufficiently left on culture to be effective when in fact they were counterproductive.

This misunderstanding went on to shape many candidates’ 2020 decision-making. https://t.co/RK1Dj4jA95
Rural/non-college white vote for Sanders in 2016 was mostly socially right of Hillary and those voters are comfortable with Biden now (and in the general that could potentially include some Obama- Trump voters too).

Bernie’s association with the “squad” cost him this vote.
A similar point, looking at why Warren’s campaign imploded. Via Tucker Carlson:
“Warren got derailed. More precisely, she got infected with a virulent strain of identity politics…. Elizabeth Warren went intersectional, and it killed her.”

Buttigieg Ends His Historic White House Bid
Exceptionally well-prepared candidate who ran a groundbreaking campaign. He would never win my vote because of profoundly different views on some key issues, but Pete did some impressive things and transcended some appalling ugliness with dignity. https://t.co/cOGred8zsm

Not even 5 years ago, marriage equality became the law of the land. Tonight, @PeteButtigieg ends his presidential candidacy as the first gay candidate to earn presidential primary delegates for a major party's nomination. And tonight, you have to reflect on what’s still possible.

.@ArielleScarcell has been attacked mercilessly for speaking out against the radical LGBTQ community.

It takes REAL guts to stand against today’s “woke” insanity.

A Gay Milestone, Ignored or Disparaged
Well, it’s not like the Human Rights Campaign was a gay advocacy group or anything.
12+ hours since a Republican President made history by appointing @RichardGrenell as the country’s first openly gay cabinet official…and not a peep from @HRC.
— Gregory T. Angelo (@gregorytangelo) February 20, 2020

From Andrew Sullivan, who is No Fan of our president:
The Human Rights Campaign’s Twitter feed has made no mention at all — even as they are rightly touting the first lesbian mother in Congress. Why is the first openly gay Cabinet member a nonevent? Because he’s a conservative. And to the activist left and too many of the Establishment liberals in the gay movement, that means he’s not really gay.
Ric Grenell just became the first-ever openly gay member of the Cabinet in U.S. history. You missed that? So did everyone else. Hate him or love him, it's a landmark. https://t.co/1imqE6pC3H

Strange Bedfellows
Earlier, I made a similar point about conservatives and LGB critics of trans radicalism, but focused on opposition to the child transition movement.
More.
I have conservative Christians in my feed celebrating a radical feminist lesbian while progressive queer advocates dismiss the notion of even interacting with her because she holds a single view they find heretical.
