What makes it a "gotcha" topic?

Good for you.

>What discriminatory legislation has she passed?

Legislators don't pass legislation.

I could've sworn that was the war on drugs/gutting the social safety net/the rise of private prisons and was compounded by the 1994 crime bill. Didn't realize it all stemmed from a comment made by the First Lady at the time. How was I able to pass 12th grade American Government class? But sure, you can add Hillary Clinton to the list of people I definitely won't be voting for in the 2020 Dem primary if that helps.

"SCOTUS would strike down any homophobic shit she wanted to do" is a bad argument, both because of who sits on the bench and because the courts aren't going to save anyone. I'd rather support one of the dozens of other candidates who aren't weird homophobes instead.

>What is your biggest concern IRT Tulsi and LGBTQ citizens?

My biggest concern with her is actually about foreign policy/her support for authoritarians/her Bannon-curious nature, I just also think that her gross bigotry is another reason she sucks. But yeah, I don't see any reason why someone this far behind on this issue should be the de facto head of the party and the next president.
