Where is the gay contingent at the convention?
My gay neighbors were over watching TV with us and wondered why the gay speakers are being kept in the closet at this convention.

There are plenty of rainbow-background Kerry signs...
...if that's any indication...

At least THOSE haven't been confiscated like the peace scarves.

7. Someone on the right made that point on CNN just now..
they said the left was "hiding" the gay agenda. While I didn't see any particular speakers on deck, I believe I saw some wonderful and very happy gay American men dancing together in the crowd.

Would have been nice if they had had a chance to speak though. I was impressed and pleased that Obama at least gave mention to the issue in his speech when relating our differences/sameness in "Blue and Red" states...

Peace...

13. teresafan was a troll
and not even a very good one, either. Didn't wait until higher post count to start outing itself. And echoing stuff heard right on TV!

Har!
