Segal’s piece should be “required reading” to help dispel the myth that this President hasn’t been tremendous on our issues. Any person who says otherwise, really doesn’t know what they are talking about. Will the GLBT community hear the truth in Segal’s words?
That may sound like an April Fool’s prank post, but in reality, there are two-count them- two, GOP candidates running for president who support gay marriage. Not a joke.
