Now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is on its way out the door, groups like Servicemembers United will soon have no reason to exist. Luckily a new LGBT activist group is stepping up to fill the void in rabble-rousing activist land! Media Matters, the anti-Fox News watchdog, is launching something called Equality Matters that will serve as a "communications war room for gay equality." Basically: A lot of links and video clips about the anti-gay spin machine and how to counter it. And who's running this thing? None other than Richard Socarides, the gay Clinton adviser who's been hunting for a way to get paid for all his punditry. The Advocate's Kerry Eleveld, meanwhile, is ditching the magazine to edit the website.
