Here is an article about the relationship between the gay press and the DNC . What bugs me most is : Deputy finance director Julie Tagen then adds that she uses the Blade and other gay newspapers for “the bottom of the birdcage.”
If she had said the same thing about a black news paper or a jewish one she would have been fired.

My favorite line from the editorial is :
"If the Blade is the Fox News of gay journalism, then Howard Dean is the Gomer Pyle of politicians — a national laughingstock whose amateurish stewardship of the party puts the prospect of a Democratic victory in November in doubt when it ought to be a slam-dunk."
How true.
This screaming idiot of an excuse of a leader should be replaced, along with a good number of his homophobic staff.

I've been hearing about this story since it first surfaced. I keep expecting it to get better but it doesn't. I don't understand why the DNC didn't just settle.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to hear that the Dems are as homophobic as the Republicans.
I'll give the Republicans points for honesty: at least they're up front about wanting to exterminate us all.
Hillary and Obama would just pay lipservice to tolerance and inclusion, and then wave bye bye as we're shipped to the camps.

Sorry, but I don't see how "honest" bigotry is in any way superior. "Vote Republican"? Not hardly.
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."
