Thanks for posting this
When you actually read the article link you see the typical wishy-washy crap from HRC and NGLTF leaders. While they acknowledge that the economy and Iraq dominate the debate NOW watch how the repugs and right-wingers under Rove roll out smearing us queers as the main strategy to get their guy elected in the General. We gays are now the 3rd rail of American Politics. As a gay man I am disappointed that the front-runners refuse to speak on our issues as key civil-rights litmus tests in 2008.
And I'm not holding my breath for things to change once they are elected (unless Dems indulge their penchant for screwing up even the most hopeful presidential contests...)
