Colin Murphy: Tell me a little bit about your role as LGBT policy advisor to the Obama campaign; how often to you speak to Sen. Obama on issues that concern to the community?
Tobias Wolff: I was first the chair of the national LGBT policy committee for the campaign starting in June of last year. So it's going on about 15-months ago. And then with the transition into the general election, we expanded the committee to include—of course, a lot of the folks who had been supporting other candidates—and also to really expand its function as well as I suppose its title. So the committee is now called the National LGBT Steering and Policy Committee and I have a Co-Chair who is none other than U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) which to say the least, was at thrill for me.
