The Human Rights Campaign and UCLA will host the event on National Coming Out Day.
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow March 19 at 11:32 AM For the first time since the dramatic change in public opinion around gay rights, Democratic presidential candidates will be invited to participate in a forum focused exclusively on LGBT policies.
Since that 2008 forum, the United States has made tremendous strides in public attitudes and laws related to the LGBT community. That year, 55 percent of Americans believed gay and lesbian relations between consenting adults should be legal, according to Gallup polling. In May 2018, that opinion rose to 75 percent.
In the last decade, same-sex marriage has been made legal, attacks against someone based on sexual orientation or gender identity have been added to the list of federal hate crimes, and the law banning LGBT Americans from serving openly in the military has been repealed.
