Presidential underdogs manupulizing gay community October 31, 2007

While I was reading about the presidential campaign, I came across a section on the Democratic candidates’ views on same-sex marriage.  I was upset to learn that all of the front-runners support civil unions but not same-sex marriage.  Even further, the one candidate I was starting to really like seems to oppose gays and lesbians [...]
