I'm sick of being told that I don't like Tulsi because she supported Bernie.

16. To understand Gabbi, you

need to understand the environment that she was raised in:

Mike Gabbard (her father)

Gerald Michael "Mike" Gabbard (born January 15, 1948) is a Democratic member of the Hawaii Senate, representing District 20. He has been a Senator since 2006. He has social conservative political views and rose to prominence for his successful effort to pass an amendment to the Constitution of Hawaii in 1998 to give the state legislature "the power to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples".

In 1995, Mike Gabbard co-founded the nonprofit Stop Promoting Homosexuality America, which filed for the trade name Alliance For Traditional Marriage, "to educate the general public about the necessity of preserving traditional marriage". Gabbard served as president until the organization's involuntary dissolution in 2004.

On August 30, 2007, Gabbard switched from the Republican Party of Hawaii to the Democratic Party of Hawaii. His stated reason for doing so was that he believed that he could be more effective to his constituents as part of the majority party in the State Senate, where Democrats have long had a supermajority. This switch in parties has been of some controversy, including repeated complaints regarding his opposition to the Democratic Party of Hawai'i's platform, and possible actions that may impact other Democrats.

As of June 2011, Gabbard was still against same-sex marriage and civil unions.

Mike and Carol's eldest daughter, Tulsi Gabbard, is a Democrat and the Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district.
