I have posted here on this and in your thoughtful threads, too.

But Obama is clearly progressive on GLBT issues and has made his positions clear even in the GLBT forum.

Frankly, all of the candidates except for Dennis Kucinich have some serious flaws which is why I've bounced around as I say 'like a BB in boxcar" because I would love to get behind a candidate who has a real shot at the White House. With Edwards opting for matching funds, he's eliminated himself as a serious threat to the GOP leaving Hillary and Obama, both of whom will be light years more progressive on GLBT concerns than any nominee thus far.

Honestly, I read Senator Obama's interview in The Advocate and I don't know what more he can say than what he did. His campaign made a mistake. He's clearly sided with the GLBT and not the homophobes when it comes to our civil rights. I think that took guts on his part. Hillary has her homophobes, too entrenched within the DLC wing of the party.

Barack is a good man.

Thanks for weighing in.
