Bad Choice.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will no doubt garner gay ire as word spreads that she wants Texas Congressman Chet Edwards to be Barack Obama’s veep. Why will bent boys and girls be bent out of shape? Edwards’ abysmal gay voting record, like his support of the 2006 Federal Marriage Amendment....

Forgive, Forget...
