Ken Buck: GLBT community attacking him now lauded transgender murder prosecution (video)

Ken Buck ran afoul of the GLBT community when he likened being gay to alcoholism on Meet the Press, prompting activists to demand a retraction. So is Buck prejudiced? He didn't appear to be in April 2009 when, as Weld County DA, his office successfully prosecuted a case that advocates said was the first time a state hate crime statute resulted in a conviction in a transgender person's murder -- a victory he hasn't mentioned during his campaign.
