“This LGBTQ Presidential Discussion board is a pivotal second within the 2020 election cycle,” mentioned Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD President and CEO, in response to Deadline. “It’s the primary time that LGBTQ points will probably be completely mentioned by 2020 presidential candidates on a nationwide stage.”
A transgender activist, Ross will be a part of Ellis on stage as they focus on LGBTQ-specific points with the 2020 candidates, and provides every collaborating candidate a chance to share their imaginative and prescient and plan for advancing for the security and advocation for LGBTQ individuals.
“We stay up for listening to how the 2020 candidates plan to reverse the assaults and rollbacks of the Trump Administration and put LGBTQ Individuals on a course to 100% acceptance,” mentioned Ellis.
