Her Royal Hinduness Tulsi's new gig is hobnobbing with progressives. Sure, under the guise of diversity, Manchurian liberals are free to join and speak.
I'm sure for her opening remarks it is ... In the Bhagavadgita, it says ... blah blah blah ... . Pitiful.

Tulsi Gabbard? Are you f---ing kidding me? I'm an ex-member of a Hare Krishna cult who, together with other ex-members lost family members, loved ones or friends to a dogmatic, hateful, bigoted and anti-reasoning guru, she and her family are the royalties of. Your impressive roster shattered with this one, almost, to be very frank, stupid. Google is your friend, get your vetting right. Having her is simply anti-reason.

Thanks for reaching out to us.
Like all of the Reason Rally’s staff, board, and volunteers, Rep. Gabbard speaks for herself. Her views are her own, and do not necessarily reflect those of the Reason Rally Coalition, or anyone else involved in the Reason Rally. All of our speakers hold a wide range of opinions on innumerable controversial topics, and at one time or another have said things that others have disagreed with. We do not wish to silence or censor any of our speakers. Further, we have no delusions of being able to provide a speaker lineup in which every speaker appeals to every attendee. Instead, our goal is to provide a variety of speakers that appeal to the incredible diversity of secular Americans - a lineup in which every attendee can find something -- more likely many things -- to get excited about.
We look forward to seeing you at the Rally!

I concur. It is just unfortunate that there really are enemies or oppositions to the concept of an open society. The issue with religious cults has always been ignored by laws and society at large because abuses and victims are marginal, usually unaccounted and religious freedom is guaranteed and protected by democratic principles.
For your goal to be truly diverse, I suggest you might as well include the far right views and the woowoo people like Deepak Chopra. I stand by my conviction on behalf of victims of religious cults that there are cases when progressive movements should responsibly draw a line and refuse to become a useful tool to advance collectivist ideology Tulsi Gabbard is a representative of.
