In 1973, Biden said gays were “a security risk”.

does that matter?

He wasn't totally wrong. Back then there was still a stigma attached to being "outed", which could be used as leverage on someone carrying a clearance. Now-a-days Drinking habits and bad credit are red flags they look deeply into.

This little tidbit from his past will be interesting to see play out as Reparations seem to be a hot button topic going into 2020

“I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather. I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.” - Joe Biden

Read my post. I didn't say it makes Biden the sultan of Iran, I made no judgment, I asked if it mattered. I'm curious to know what folks think.

Spence, if he grabbed your wife from behind and was sniffing her hair with his tongue hanging out of his mouth like a hound in heat, would you tell your wife to calm down and take it in the proper context?

It's only going to matter to right wing bloggers and Russian bots who will try to twist it to stir the pot.

"It's only going to matter to right wing bloggers"

Maybe. And maybe it's only going to be swept under the rub by thoughtless, simpleminded liberal zombies.

"Admit you got a little excited writing that didn't you"

Not really. That's why I asked if it mattered, especially to the woke, SJW cupcakes.

If anything it highlights the progress we've made as a society.

I have no idea what an "SJW cupcake" even is. You might want to leave the juvenile petty stuff to dangles.

The biggest security risk is closer gays or gays who don’t realize they are gays. You know... like all those conservatives who cage up their desires. 😂😂😂😂

I think they're dairy free, soy free, gluten free, peanut free made with cage free chicken eggs, and natural flavors added (But don't assume what those flavors are). Then they are frosted in gender nuetral yellow frosting and topped with rainbow sprinkles. But if you don't get permission from the cupcake before licking the frosting off you'll be doxxed unmercifully by the baker and all zer friends on Tumblr for a violation of the #MeToo movement.

On gay rights, I agree, I was in favor of gay marriage when Obama and Hilary were still adamantly opposed to it (not that long ago). I've also seen a trend of people getting in a lot of trouble for older comments. That's why I asked.
