‘Pose’ Star Angelica Ross Will Host The Presidential Candidate Forum For LGBT+ Issues

‘Pose’ actress and transgender activist Angelica Ross has been drafted to serve as the official host of the 2020 presidential candidate forum on LGBT+ Issues on September 20.

Presidential candidates Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julián Castro, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Joe Sestak, Elizabeth Warren, and Marianne Williamson are confirmed to share their visions for LGBTQ acceptance in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

An announcement from GLAAD, who sponsor the event, cited “more than 124 anti-LGBTQ attacks in policy and rhetoric from the Trump administration, including the president’s ban on transgender Americans from serving in the military and the administration’s opposition to the Equality Act.”

GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, who will join Ross onstage the forum, said: “We look forward to hearing how the 2020 candidates plan to reverse the attacks and rollbacks of the Trump administration and put LGBTQ Americans on a course to 100 percent acceptance.”

The event will be available to stream here.
