The campaign plans to have a presence this month at more than 200 Pride events in 23 states, including all of the battleground states, and to launch a paid media blitz aimed at mobilizing LGBTQ voters, two campaign officials said in details first shared with NBC News.

Some of Biden’s allies worry about waning support among LGBTQ voters.

The Human Rights Campaign, recently committed to spend $15 million in six battleground states to help Biden win in November, citing concerns about waning support from LGBTQ voters. HRC estimates that this year one-third of the 75 million “equality voters” — who vote based on support for LGBTQ rights — might not be guaranteed Biden voters.

        The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.

        All the shit Biden is doing is symbolic, which doesn’t pay the damn bills

        HRC is nothing but gatekeepers for the DNC.

          I mean, no, they’re changes to law and policy which is literally not symbolic. But you can just say whatever, you’re free to do that I guess.

          The HRC has long been a corporate controlled piece of shit org that activist LGBTQ+ don’t support. Former HRC President Chad Griffin worked in the Clinton White House. During Bernie vs Clinton instead of having the members vote who to have the org endorse, he made the decision to bypass them and endorse Hillary. Their own website had her at an 87% for supporting LGBTQ Rights while they had Bernie at a 99%. After their social media pages were bombarded with that, they removed the rankings from their website.

          Anyways, here’s some other reasons LGBTQ+ that pay attention don’t like the HRC…

          Human Rights Campaign Under Fire in LGBT Community. Queer groups call foul on the largest LGBT nonprofit, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), for glorifying corporations the groups consider to be downright dirty.

      So anyone who doesn’t know already return2ozma is very anti Biden as seen by basically only posting anti Biden articles. I’m curious as to what they think a better option that we have right now is? We all know the Republican party isn’t the better option for LGBTQ. They push the anti Biden agenda but don’t offer other options. Don’t fall for the Subtle Trumper tactics.

        Are you part of the LGBTQ+ community? Our history of activism and fighting for our rights? Calling me a subtle Trumper is so uncouth.

          The lack of an answer to my question is all the answer I needed. This person has a strong anti Biden agenda, just look at the post history. It’s fine to be critical of Biden, but they are not critical of anyone else. Please people do not be fooled.

            No need to be critical of republicans, we all know they are garbage, they are open in their bigotry and racism. Democrats are covert in theirs, so it needs to be called out. The guy that helped hand our marriages to the states, where it was before Obergefell, is no ally to my community. The party that actively engages in social murder is no ally to my community

            Another newbie? I’ve said multiple times I hate Republican-lite and genocider Biden. I also hate Trump and the GOP. Where’s the problem?

              Of course you already know what the problem is. We live in a first past the post system which means we are forced to choose the lesser of two evils. If you can’t accept that is the problem then you are another problem.

                We live in a democracy. I’m not forced to vote for either one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                Seems the party that’s going to save democracy doesn’t like democracy very much.

                  It’s your vote to throw away but if we get another 4 years of Trump you can kindly fuck off and quit complaining.
