Former Vice President Joe Biden’s performance at CNN’s LGBTQ Town Hall may not have been filled with his usual gaffes, but there were plenty of head-scratching and simply awkward moments.The Democratic presidential candidate was one of nine 2020 contenders who spoke on LGBTQ issues with CNN’s Anderson Cooper at Thursday’s Democratic presidential town hall, making several cringe-worthy impressions with viewers as he joked about coming out and reminiscing about “gay bathhouses and ’round the clock sex."(Video: CNN) Biden told the audience at the outset that, as all of his opponents support LGBTQ rights like himself, the differences between them would be manifest in each person’s “degree of emotional concern.”

He's trying to sound hip but comes across sounding try-hard.

His response to Trump's statements about him at the first rally last week were so weak and pathetic. Joe's campaign is dead man walking itself right off the cliff. I wish he would just quit and at least keep a few shreds of decency for himself and his family's sake. I don't like democrats, but this is getting painful, and very hard to watch the decline.

He's a clown. They're ALL clowns. And yet millions of people think one of them ought to be the President. Barring some kind of miracle, the Republic is lost. Trump is fighting a rear guard action. Hopefully I'm too pessimistic.

Where is their Town Hall for illegal immigrants? That’s all that’s left. If they have one please let ICE know.

I am busily writing Joe's walk-away speech. It'll end up with a mighty step stage left as he shouts, ''You people don't DESERVE me!!''

Joe's finger is in the wind, as always.
My finger has another use.

Considering that the gay bathhouses in San Francisco spawned the AIDS epidemic in the late seventies it hardly seems a topic to turn into a joke. I'm sure Joe received his details from Bathhouse Barry, the alleged expert on such matters. They must have talked about something in their eight years together.

The vote of this sector is insignificant, and most of them will vote for Trump. Have a nice day, Mr. Biden.

One of the few humorous things about Joe Biden is his inability to filter what he says, hence 'gay bathhouses' and 'round the clock sex'. This is Joe's perception of the gay community. Is it accurate? Regardless, in many cases perception becomes reality. It sheds light on why so many people have a problem with the gay life style.

Biden doesn’t know much about anything and he tries to improvise but he’s not smart or quick enough to pull that off without sounding like a fool. You’d think that his staff would say something

Joker Joe trying hard to pander to 'that crowd' thought he would win favors by saying "Obama kissed me" he should have gone further and said Obama even got to 'second base'. That would win applause. The old "I'm not gay but willing to learn" routine was pathetic. Groping Joe trying to win favor with gays and all he gets is a cymbal splash for a flopped joke.
Biden is a total buffoon who thinks he's hip and jive when he should go home and wait for indictments to follow the Ukraine incident with his crooked son coke head Hunter.

Read Randy Shilts book And the Band Played On for a look into the San Francisco gay bathhouse scene in the early 80s before AIDS wiped them out. It may not have beer 'round the clock sex, but it was definitely promiscuous and uninhibited.

I think I know what Old Jo was saying, (which in itself is a bit scary) so allow mke to translate.
There is a component of the broken alphabet crowd that contains outrageous homosexuals - bathhouses, drugs, parades dressed up as nuns, or leather, or nothing. Marriage, child rearing, are poison to them. They believe their freedom to act crazily would be sacrificed on the altar of 'normalcy.' And there is a component where same sex couples want everything heterosexuals have, except for heterosexual sex.
Back during my professorial days, we built a house in the woods, a few miles from campus. We were isolated from neighbors, surrounded by trees, but the neighbors across the street were male homosexuals, living their lives quietly. And down the road lived a lesbian couple, friendly, affable, who lived the lives others might admire, with a camper, long trips around the U.S. and Canada.
Old Jo probably was saying that not all of the broken alphabet crowd was the same, but the wild, in your face ones get all of the attention.
Most people I know are not offended by the two couples I described above. But most people are offended by the San Francisco crowds of perverts.
The NY Times tells us that we must respect both components. But respect is not automatic, nor can it be propped up with legal penalties imposed on the rest of us - they even gave us a label - cisgenders, which I find kind of a silly word.
Biden has a form of aphasia, I believe. And it will not get better, given his history if brain aneurysms. And as he fades from the political scene, much like Douglas MacArthur did, after a curiously honored lousy military career, Biden will be honored for a similarly lousy political career..

Mr. Trump takes a lot of guff about being unpresidential -- that he is a carnival barker, a reality TV show host, an insensitive bully, etc. I don't see him that way. But some do. I do not, however, see how anyone can claim with any degree of sincerity or accuracy that Biden or Warren or anyone on the Dem side is more presidential than Mr. Trump. And Biden's words in the LGBTQ-alphabet forum is proof enough that the lot of them is not nearly as presidential as Mr. Trump.

Evidently Tailpipe Joe is kissing more than helpless babies and cringing little girls out there on the campaign trail. Every day there's something new and creepy with this fabricating old bollock.
Agree with above poster; bathhouse barry must surely have clued him in.
Next will likely be sloe joe fighting off extraterrestrial invaders -- and I'm only half joking.
