Last week, LGBTQ Nation asked its readers what they want Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) to be asked at the vice presidential debate next week on October 1, an event that will be hosted by CBS News.
Throughout the week, thousands of readers voted, and two options ended up in a near tie: if Vance stands by his comments that it’s good to “create stories” as he claims Haitian immigrants are eating dogs and spreading HIV, and how Vance went from having a close trans friend in law school to demonizing trans people as a Republican politician.
These options ended up with around 30% of votes in the poll. They were followed by a question to Walz about how so many states are suing the Biden administration over the Department of Education’s Title IX guidance protecting trans students and what a Harris-Walz administration would do about that, which 22% of readers picked. The question – for both candidates – about how their respective administrations would fight the criminalization of LGBTQ+ identities in other countries ended up last, with 18% of readers voting for it.
So a majority of you all picked an option involving Vance getting grilled.
