Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Pete Buttigieg denounce attacks on the LGBTQ+ community while in Nashville for the Clinton Global Initiative U Conference. This was the first in-person Clinton Global Initiative University held since the pandemic.
Former President Bill Clinton told Vanderbilt University students that many current elected leaders are clinging to power by sowing division through wedge issues like transgender rights. Clinton spoke alongside his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and daughter Chelsea Clinton at Vanderbilt’s Langford Auditorium. Clinton’s namesake foundation was founded in 2001 and has over the years launched programs, including CGIU in 2007, to empower a younger generation of leaders to tackle problems in their communities. The CGIU conference kicked off a day after Tennessee’s governor signed into law a measure that restricts drag performances in public. He also signed a separate law blocking transgender teens from seeking hormone therapy and surgical procedures, the latest in a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills that have been filed in Republican-controlled states. Buttigieg, in a separate interview with WPLN, said he was also concerned by Tennessee’s anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Buttigieg was the first openly gay presidential candidate to run for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
