we are proud of it. and we want access and respect. i stand with you in the struggle for equality for all americans, including gay men and lesbian americans. out of the aids crisis, it became very clear that there were things we needed as lgbtq people if we were going to be part of the full american community. we needed to be accepted into the military. we also needed to be allowed to marry. without those things, we were never be full and equal partners in the american dream. and for the first time ever, there was a president in office who, as a candidate, promised action on aids and lgbt equality on his way to the white house. we can t afford to waste the capacity, the contributions, the hearts and souls and the minds of the gay and lesbian american body. for a gay american to see
to show that he doesn t want to fight these fights of the past, that he s got a proactive, forward-looking agenda and the attention is all backward leaning. a lot of that is because of him. that s where he keeps going on this. even when he tries to dig out, he sort of makes a miss step. when he was out in seattle talking about the evolution of acceptance and tolerance for gay americans, it didn t go so well. he got booed. look, with joe biden you do have to accept there is going to be a certain amount of rhetorical gaffes that will come with him. the problem for his campaign is if it becomes overtaken. i m going to have to end it there. up next, ivanka trump attended the g-20 alongside secretary of state mike pompeo and president trump. but did she steal the show, like her father said? has anyone ever heard of ivanka? all right, come up, ivanka, come on. she s going to steal the show. what a beautiful couple.
we didn t use gay. we said, they re all fags. they started marching up to sixth avenue. it was a beginning of a new era for gay americans. stonewall was a spark. the gay liberation front was the torch lit by that spark. we carried that torch away from the bars, into daylight, out of the closets, into the streets, brothers and sisters, come out, come out. and we asked everyone to join us. coming up aids changed everything. because all our friends were dying. and the government was not doing anything. i customize everything,ss junki, like my bike, and my calves. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.
potential betrayer of the united states. literally he knows of thousands of gay men and women were hounded out of government service. while gays were being routed out of government, most americans didn t know of or talk about homosexuality. i grew up in an evangelical home. they loved jesus, i loved jesus. my dad was mayor. hired a city manager. came home one day and said, he walks a little light in his sandals. and i said to myself, what does that mean? i went to school in virginia. in my senior year, the teacher wanted to talk about a police raid on a house with queers. so the girls were saying, oh, those poor, sick people. and the boys were saying, boy, if i could just get my hands on those guys. and there i was thinking, oh my god, i think i am one of these people they re talking about.
like my bike, and my calves. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. people ask me all the time where i see myself in 10 years. and i say, i see myself in the white house, baby. after fighting the aids epidemic for over a decade, in 1993 the now well-organized gay community showed up in record numbers in washington, d.c. to demand their full equal rights as american citizens. we have come out to reach out across america, to build a bridge of understanding, a bridge of progress, a bridge as solid as steel. i think the 1993 march was about saying, we are americans. we are part of this country.
