I am just arguing that support for a Democratic candidate on gay rights had better be stronger than LCR arguments for Bush and Cheney. I want to see some tangible history of taking a stand on gay equality that isn't overwhelmingly supported in the polls, simply because it's the right thing to do.

I'd even settle for pushing for a non-discrimination bill in a state like Texas or Alabama which is opposed to it. ENDA might not be controversial nationally, but it is in those places.

Simply pointing at support for ENDA and ending DADT isn't enough, in my view -- it's like claiming support for women's equality for supporting the EEOC. That's a "safe" position.
