What Anderson Cooper said at last night’s Democratic Presidential Forum on LGBTQ issues

View this post on Instagram

“Until recently…an event like this, it would have been unthinkably,” said @andersoncooper, introducing @PeteButtigieg at CNN’s #EqualityTownHall on Thursday. “Generations of people just like me, gay, lesbian, transgendered Americans had been forced to live in silence for decades… …Unable to speak out…Afraid to hold hands in public with the person we love. Afraid to be ourselves at work because we don’t have the same protections from discrimination… “…There have been so many brave members of our community who for…generations have risked their careers…and lost their lives in the fight for equality. Not for special rights but for equal rights.” “Here tonight we all sit on the shoulders and benefits from their sacrifices.” Follow @OnTheRoad2020 for an inside look at tonight's CNN #EqualityTownHall.
