Quote:
Barack Obama supported gay rights during his Illinois Senate tenure. He sponsored legislation in Illinois that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Every two years the Human Rights Campaign, the largest national gay and lesbian organization, issues a scorecard for members of the Senate based on their sponsorship and voting on key issues of importance to gay and lesbian citizens. Barack Obama scored 89 out of 100% in the 2006 scorecard.
...
Barack Obama did vote against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.

Yes, he is not a supporter of the gay marriage movement, which sucks. But he's everything but, and surely 89% is worthy of consideration. I'd say he is the strongest gay-rights presidential candidate, ever.
Just sayin'.
