Tulsi Gabbard's Moment of Truth
Rumor is that your support of the LGBT community is not genuine. Given your (and your fathers) statements against LGBT rights in the past, why should people believe you've changed?
Tulsi: I've gone through some extraordinary experiences over the last decade, which have led me to realize that I could not, in good conscience, fight for liberty and freedom overseas while advocating something less than that here at home. That was an important decision for me and, in that context, I fully recognize that protecting the equal rights of all Americans, including those in the LGBT community, is an obligation we must strive to fulfill. This personal journey makes sense to most people I talk to.
