CNN to Host LGBTQ Democratic Presidential Town Hall

[FREEBEACON] CNN and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation have partnered to host the next Democratic presidential town hall, focused on LGBTQ issues.

CNN host Don Lemon made the announcement after the seven-hour Democratic presidential climate town hall on Wednesday.

"CNN is partnering with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for our next series of presidential town halls on issues that are important to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community," Lemon told viewers.

CNN's ratings remained behind competing news networks during Wednesday's highly promoted climate town hall, averaging 1.4 million viewers. MSNBC averaged 2.2 million and Fox News averaged 3.2 million viewers during the same hours.

The LGBTQ town hall is scheduled to take place at The Novo in Los Angeles on October 10. The candidates will appear consecutively, taking questions from the audience as well as CNN journalists.

Candidates must qualify for the October Democratic presidential debate to participate in the town hall. Candidates must reach at least 2 percent in four DNC-approved national polls and meet the threshold of 130,000 unique donors. The polls considered will be those released between June 28 and September 25.

#2 Think they might ever have a town hall about things the other 99.8% of the population cares about?

Neither do I.

#4 It's so much easier to cajole the vanities of self worshiping whatsits, than face real human beings.

#5 I guess they could have some union leaders for a town hall to get the working man's view. Might get the UAW president on the line, or not.

#7 Can’t wait to see the audience outtakes as it will likely be amusing to see the people that are a part of our strength in the democrat vision of America...

#8 Who's the favorite Dem with the weird sex crowd? I'm guessing Mayor Pete because he likes to kiss his husband at campaign events.

#9 If a right isn't for 100% of the people, it's an entitlement and will cost those excluded.
