Reply #35: I'm still outraged over McClurkin.

But no apology will be forthcoming soon. And I'm not sure there will be.

However...it's pragmatism time. More than likely, Obama will be the nominee. I've said all along that I will support and vote for him in the GE. As a gay man, I'd like to have some hope that an Obama Administration will be fully supportive of the GLBT community and will unequivocally push to enact legislation (such as the Matthew Shepard Act and the repeal of DADT and DOMA) that is of vital interest to our community. And that letter does attempt to assure our community of his stated committment.

I know that some people still are suspicious of Obama. I understand that. And I'm still believe that Hillary is more committed to our community than Obama. But there's political reality to deal with.
