Dem candidates to participate in LGBTQ-focused forum in October
BY ZACK BUDRYK - 03/19/19 08:46 AM EDT
Democratic presidential hopefuls this fall will participate in an LGBTQ issues forum hosted by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs.
The event is scheduled for National Coming Out Day on Oct. 10 and will have the same participant eligibility threshold as the Democratic National Committee is using to determine who qualifies for debates.
This means it will be open to any candidate reaching at least 1 percent in three national polls or receiving 65,000 donations from people in 20 states.
South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is openly gay, has already qualified for the event.
The forum will feature discussions on hate crimes, transgender rights and conversion therapy, according to the organizers.

unfortunately the only way those issues get addressed is at a special interest forum.
