Pete Buttigieg Reveals Sweeping LGBTIQ Policy To Tackle Inequality


Steve

Recommended Posts

Pete Buttigieg, the openly gay Democratic presidential contender, has revealed his plans to revamp health care, address HIV/AIDS, and reverse Trump’s transgender military ban.

Calling his reforms “Becoming Whole: A New Era for LGBTQ+ Americans” Buttigieg proposes nearly two dozen initiatives aimed at tackling the inequality of marginalized groups from the classroom to the workplace.

The Huffington Post reports the number one objective of the policy is to secure the passage of the Equality Act, which would plug the gap in current federal civil laws by banning discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation. The bill, which was passed by the House in May but has stalled in the Senate, aims to give the LGBTIQ community the same protections in all parts of public and commercial life, including housing, employment, credit, education and government-funded programs. The Trump administration opposes it.

Buttigieg’s health care proposal includes coverage of pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, the drug that protects high-risk individuals from contracting HIV.

The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention released data in 2019 that showed in 2017 only 35 percent of gay and bisexual men at risk of contracting HIV were using PrEP.

A major hurdle in the adoption of PrEP is the cost with the brand Truvada costing up to $2,000 per month. The federal government attempted to obtain patents for the drug, spurring a challenge in August by drug manufacturer Gilead.

Buttigieg’s Becoming Whole initiative sets a goal of ending HIV/AIDS by 2030. While that goal was adopted by Trump in 2018, the president fired all members of his HIV/AIDS council who hadn’t already resigned in protest of his health policies, virtually shuttering operations for more than a year. New staffers were not announced until March.

Further signaling a lack of attention to the epidemic, the White House Office of National AIDS Policy has been inactive, having had no director since Amy Lansky stepped down in 2017. Buttigieg pledged to revitalize the office as president.

The release of his expansive list of initiatives comes as he prepares to join eight other Democratic presidential candidates Thursday night for CNN’s LGBTIQ town hall in Los Angeles; others who will appear include former Vice President Joe Biden and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris of California. Senator Bernie Sanders was scheduled to participate in the forum, but cancelled after suffering a heart attack last week.

She is wonderful in many ways but I am not a big fan of "I assume it was a man".
Straight women can be just as homophobic .
Stereotyping the nature of what we face minimizes it - sadly it is much more widespread than just the dumb macho bro.

Now, of course, otherwise no doubt she has her heart in the right place, is entirely right in the substance of most of what she is saying, and is a great communicator.
Just nitpicking to hold our politicians - even allies - to account

That is very true, but if you look at the most vocal opponents of marriage equality you find that the majority of them are men.  (I am not following the US news closely, but  here in Europe that seems to be the case)

I am not saying it wasn't somewhat true - and definitely amusing.

I guess I am very sensitive but I realize that, when people's hearts in the right place, you can't be too nitpicky :)

Chris Cuomo, on the other hand, can kiss my cisgender a**
