Gay Days at the DNC
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion/3500278/27/2008
If gay rights (or opposition to it) is not quite yet a problem for the
GOP, it has certainly shifted--rapidly and decisively--to a non-issue
in the Democratic party. Indeed, it's become a point of pride for the
party as a whole: Melissa Etheridge sang primetime at the DNC, Barney
Frank and Tammy Baldwin hosted a packed luncheon for LGBT delegates
(at which Michelle Obama spoke) and speaker after speaker (including
Hillary Clinton) has mentioned gays and lesbians at the podium.
