DC's Metro Weekly come a Q&A with a number of LGBT Civil Rights organizations' Executive Directors. Some of the questions from MW were:

    - From your perspective, what is the most immediate effect of the presidential election on the GLBT community?

    - Since the 1990s, a small number of GLBT issues have consistently emerged at the federal legislative level: ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell'', ENDA, partner immigration, hate crimes and marriage equality. With a Democratic Congress and president, which of those issues do you believe should be prioritized?
