Senator John McCain wants gays and lesbians to think of him as being gay-friendly, or, at least, gay-comfortable. For instance, he has kept mum on gay nuptials in California set to begin next week. And a recent appearance on Ellen DeGeneres' daytime talk show where he gently spars with the openly-out DeGeneres on marriage was suppose to appear respectful of gays.
For gay rights group Human Rights Campaign (HRC) that was not enough. In a new video and campaign, posted at its hrc.org website, the nation's largest gay rights group argues that McCain is no friend of GLBT people.
