Which Democratic Presidential candidate is the most gay-friendly? - Well, my response is, "does it matter?" A National Gay and Lesbian Task Force study seemed to think so, and the press has picked up on it, with articles entitled "The Most Pro-Gay Field Ever." But come on, we all know that Carol Mosley Braun is never going to get the Democratic nod, nor is Al Sharpton. Do we really care how progressive their positions are? These are fringe candidates who have no shot at winning the White House. Plus, if gays are one of the most loyal Democratic voting blocs anyway, and "we" are just going to support the eventual Democratic candidate against Bush anyway, does this report really have any significance?
