Why Aren’t Debate Moderators Asking Candidates About LGBTQ+ Rights?
During the fifth Democratic primary debates in Atlanta, Georgia, on Wednesday (November 2o), candidates were asked about healthcare (obviously), climate change (if briefly, but also: finally!), and reforming laws pertaining to gerrymandering and how candidates themselves can raise money. Notably absent, however, were any questions regarding the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, whose freedoms are being threatened every single day of the Trump administration.
