Remember this moment?

Biden becoming the highest ranking government official to endorse marriage equality?

He did it before Obama - he was the one who put the issue out there and, eventually, Obama met him on it and, what do you know, both went and won reelection together a few months later.

Someone said the other day that he stood against it and I was thinking about him encouraging Obama to work at passing that. How that is against it I have no clue.

Some people are saying he isn't progressive, perhaps because to them, LGBT rights aren't civil rights.

Go Joe!

Joe Biden was the one who convinced Obama. Guess who also remembers it: Every LGBTQ voter.
