Moulton went public with his struggle in May, while advocating mandatory counseling for combat veterans that would include annual checkups for mental health, much like annual physical exams.Īsked about issues affecting the LGBTQ community, Moulton offered enthusiastic support for adding a third gender marker on federal documents for those who identify outside the male/female binary, and for a ban on so-called conversion therapy that seeks to turn same-sex desires into opposite-sex desires and has been compared to torture. Moulton also talked about struggles with post-traumatic stress after serving four tours as a Marine in Iraq. He spoke about how his brother worked to accept his sexual identity. In conversation with voters from New Hampshire Stonewall Democrats at the roundtable, Moulton sought common ground, reflecting on his younger brother, who is gay. Moulton, who entered the race late and hasn’t achieved the kind of icon status Sanders has among certain voters, didn’t march in the parade Saturday but he met with LGBTQ Democrats in Nashua at a roundtable earlier and worked the crowd during the festival.
