A total of five people have joined Obama's gay steering committee, including Baldwin, black gay activist Mandy Carter, former Task Force board co-chair Marsha Botzer and Texas-based Jesse Garcia. A former member of Clinton's queer steering committee, Garcia had this to say about the general election, "On every issue facing the LGBT community, John McCain promises a third Bush term. He's promised to appoint judges to the Supreme Court like Scalia and Alito, and we can't afford that."
