It’s been one day since Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) announced she was running for president in the 2020 election, and parts of her conservative past are already coming back to haunt her. Those come in the form of homophobic remarks the congresswoman made over a decade ago. At least twice the Hawaii Democrat publicly called the LGBTQ community and supporters of same-sex marriage “homosexual extremists.”I realized Tulsi Gabbard was anti-gay, but didn't quite realize how anti-gay she was in the 2000s. Gabbard’s remarks from 14 years ago were bound to resurface as she walked even further into the national spotlight with her presidential bid. Tulsi Gabbard referred to gay people as “homosexual extremists” and sided with Assad over Obama (to name a few concerns).
