Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg released a video this week stressing his campaign’s commitment to LGBTQ+ voters, and focusing on “inclusivity” for at-risk youth, including, apparently, youth who identify as trangender.

I lived in @MikeBloomberg’s New York, and I saw him fight every day for the LGBTQ+ community,” says fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi in a clip posted to both Mizrahi and Bloomberg’s Twitter accounts. “And not just the adults. He fought for the kids who are so vulnerable. We need that kind of compassion in our next president.”
