All the dem front runners are selling some version of LGBT-QWERTY rights. They would be hounded out of the party if they didn't capitulate to the LGBT Mafia. And actually these days, it's the Trans Mafia. I wouldn't expect a masculine Black man to have awareness about this, but gays and trans-girls don't get along at all -- and Radical lesbians (RadFems) hate trans-women. And yet, all over the US and Canada trans-women are politically defeating radical feminists and gays, in localized disputes. Trans-women now have access to all women's private (formerly women-only) spaces.
In my age-group (under 25) there is an explosion of white trans-girls. Whitebois identifying as female has increased profusely. The democrats and society in general are clearly supporting trans-women in these high-profile disputes with radical feminists. I dunno -- maybe it's 'cause we're young and fit and we're not shrieking man-hating hags.
Mayor Pete seems to think that his gayness is a qualification and that it will play in middle America. Perhaps he thinks it is offset by military service. I grew up as a military brat in several countries. I respect his service, but I believe his appeal will not resonate with the wider democrat identity groups. He is too white and too upper-middle-class for the delicate dem coalition of victims groups.
Perhaps the dems will make an issue of trans-rights in public bathrooms. I was surprised that my local public school district is spending millions to renovate bathrooms and locker rooms to acommodate trans students. It was a contentious battle, so this is a very current political issue. If all politics is personal, then I benefit from my appearance -- using the Ladies Room is no problem for me.

I'm a patriotic military brat, a business operator and I pass for very female in what liberals hatefully call the "gender binary". I don't need Pete Buttplug opening any trans doors for me -- I have men doing that all the time. What I do need is a hard-headed businessman in the Oval Office, holding the doors of commerce open and making the US feared and respected in the world.
Go Trump!
