Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's decision to pick Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) as his vice presidential running mate drew immediate praise from gay activists in Delaware, who called Biden a strong and reliable friend of the gay community.
After more than two months of deliberation over selecting a vice presidential nominee, Obama announced Biden's selection shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday in text messages and e-mails sent to his campaign supporters.

The inclusive ENDA will not fly just as women did not get the right to vote along with the free slaves. It will take a separate step approach.

All for each other, and leave no one behind
The inclusive ENDA is the only way to go. We need ENDA alot more than gays and lesbians. Our community is devastated by discrimination. How can you say to leave us out of ENDA? You are very ignorant of the issues.

It is not an issue problem it is a political one. There is not the support for an inclusive ENDA and nothing to trade for the support. Politics is not played on the best thing to do, it played by if I give you this what are you going to give me.
