Biden: ‘There’s Homophobes Still Left … Most of Them Are Running for President’

“There are still those shrill voices in the national political arena, trying to undo what’s finally been done but they're not going to succeed. Don’t worry about it. … The American people have moved so far beyond them and their appeals to prejudice and fear and homophobia. And because of how far you’d move the American people – the reminder of the work and much work has to be done, I promise you, we’ll come much more quickly and more surely. … I strongly support the Equality Act and it will pass. It will pass. (Applause) It will pass because it’s simple and it is straightforward. The American people are already with you, look at the numbers. Oh, there’s homophobes still left! Most of them are running for president, I think” (Laughter)
