Senator John McCain hears LGBT for first time in his life
In a stunning display of ignorance, Republican presidential candidate John McCain admitted that he had no idea what the acronym LGBT stands for. In Concord, New Hampshire, McCain was asked by a high school student what he intended to do to protect LGBT rights.
McCain looked confused, and then, when it was explained to him that LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, McCain stammered, “I had not heard that phrase before”.
As a United States Senator, John McCain is supposed to keep himself informed on the important political issues of the day, but it appears that McCain has neglected this duty. America cannot afford to have such an ill-informed man as President.
After all, if a President does not even know what the LGBT community is, there is very little likelihood that he will act to protect the rights of people in that community.
