I hope I’m proven wrong, but a little more than two weeks away from the election, my growing sense is that Proposition 8, which will outlaw gay marriage in California, will pass. Come November 5th, the gay community will cry out in anger and anguish at the homophobia and bigotry they face– but in reality, …

Talking Points Memo calls this new ad from Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) “sad”, we call it “gay baiting”.  It shows his opponent, former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove accepting money from a variety of special interest groups, including the Human Right Campaign, which is portrayed as The Village People.

Not sure I really want to reignite this fray, but here goes…

For that last post, I tried to look up McCain’s “official” position on gay rights. Oddly, it’s missing from his issue’s page. Huh, funny that. Even funnier is this little mistake: Los Angeles Times Endorses John McCain For President. Um, no. You merely have to read the headline to see …
