(Washington, D.C.) General Wesley Clark, widely seen as a moderate on gay issues, announced Wednesday that he is seeking the Democratic nomination for President. He becomes the 10th candidate in the race, joining the most pro-gay field of presidential candidates in history.

The former NATO Supreme Commander, Clark supports a review of the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. He is opposed to a constitutional ban on gay marriage, and supports same-sex civil unions.

Clark, 58, is a West Point graduate and Rhodes Scholar. As NATO Supreme Commander he led U.S. and allied forces in the 1999 air war in Kosovo. But, he has been highly critical of the Bush administration over the war in Iraq.
