In April, we introduced you to Rufus Gifford, who had just been named deputy campaign manager for Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
Prior to that, 45-year-old Gifford served as the U.S. ambassador to Denmark during President Obama’s second term and was one of seven openly gay ambassadors who served under the Obama administration.
And prior to that, he helped to raise millions of dollars as a campaign fundraiser for Obama’s 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, using his experience gained as the former finance chair for the Democratic National Committee.
Aside from being a behind-the-scenes political force to be reckoned with, Gifford is quite active on Instagram, regularly sharing photos of himself, his hunky husband, and their adorable dogs with his nearly 80K followers.
How about we take this to the next level?

Meanwhile Republicans pushed to keep it legal to fire LGBTQ people just for existing.

I love Joe Biden and without a doubt am voting for him. But Rufus is a sell out to the LGBTQ community and I hope Biden keeps him far away from any policy role. He used his standing in our community to push for the TPP trade deal to give special favors to anti-lgbtq countries like Malaysia, where LGBT people can be jailed for 20 years or more, or Brunei, where the newly adopted penal code prescribes stoning LGBT people to death. Just be clear, he puts money first and our community second or lower.

Well, I must say. GREAT smile and it is obvious that UGLY does NOT know his name or where he lives. Yeah. I am so glad he is being recognized for his merits, job experience and NOT for his sexual orientation. And the F UCKING republiKKKans have NO problem with folks getting fired if they are found out to be GAY!
