So, I don't think it should look like he was stumping for votes.<BR/>He stuck to his guns about wanting to hear more discussion as to his reason for his vote. Well, he got it, but this time from a different point of view. He had received a lot of anti-gay phone calls asking him to vote against the center and I think he was afraid to show support on his vote. He seemed to think that this is something that could be at one of the community centers and did not understand the need for a safe and secure place where people can go without fear of being hurt or judged.<BR/>In the end he did say he would vote for the center if given the chance but I would like to see him stand up and say he is in support of gay rights. You won't see a change in attitudes until the leaders in the community stand up for that change. Obama and Julian Bond have both stood up in support of gay rights. We need that on the local level too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
