Joe Biden to headline Human Rights Campaign dinner
WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden will be the keynote speaker at the top LGBT advocacy group’s gala next week, the Human Rights Campaign announced Friday.
Biden — who is still deciding whether to mount his own presidential bid — will headline the HRC National Dinner on Oct. 3.
The evening will include an award for out actress Ellen Page, who recently had a public clash on gay rights with Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, and an address from the first out NBA player, Jason Collins.
Democratic front-runner and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will also address the HRC gathering — but in the morning at a separate event, HRC said.

Note to Forum Hosts: Since Joe Biden has not declared his candidacy for the 2016 presidential race, I believe that it is appropriate to include this OP in this forum rather than GDP.
