   WASHINGTON — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Saturday night touted his and   
   Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ advocacy for LGBTQ rights in   
   a keynote address he delivered at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual gala   
   — and also criticized    
   comments by his GOP opponent Sen. J.D. Vance that school shootings are a   
   “fact of life.”   
      
   “It’s a fact of life, some people are gay,” Walz said in his remarks.   
   “But you know what’s not a fact of life? That our children need to be shot   
   dead in schools.”  In a Wednesday school shooting in Georgia at Apalachee   
   High School, two    
   students and two teachers were killed.   
      
   Vance, when asked at a campaign stop in Phoenix Thursday about policies to   
   stop school shootings, said, “I don’t like this. I don’t like to admit   
   this. I don’t like that this is a fact of life. But if you’re, if you are   
   a psycho and you want to    
   make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets, and we have got   
   to bolster security at our schools.”   
      
   The school shooting renewed calls from Democrats to ban assault weapons, push   
   for safe storage of firearms and enact red flag laws, which allow a court to   
   temporarily remove firearms from an individual who is deemed a threat to   
   themselves or others.   
      
   “Our kids should be free to go to school without being shot dead in the   
   halls,” Walz said Saturday night.   
      
   In his speech, Walz praised Vice President Harris for her long history of   
   supporting LGBTQ rights, including officiating some of the first marriages in   
   California after the U.S. Supreme Court deemed same-sex marriage was a legal   
   right in 2015.   
      
   “This is the most pro LGBTQ+ administration in American history,” Walz   
   said of Harris and President Joe Biden, noting the enactment of the Respect   
   for Marriage Act, which would ensure same-sex and interracial couples continue   
   having their marriages    
   recognized regardless of future U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
