The issue of marriage equality deserves ample stage time with candidates at the highest levels of government, and we should not overlook the significance of the first ever LGBT-focused Presidential Forum. As such, however, those lucky few allowed to ask questions of candidates should have paid more attention to issues not related to marriage equality. Our community crosses all gender, racial, ethnic, national origin, religious, and socio-economic boundaries. The panelists could never have made everyone happy, but focusing almost solely on marriage equality did our community a grave disservice.
