Former Lesbian/Gay Political Coalition member Marc Lerro, a D.C. resident, said he recalls that Miers stated in the questionnaire that she would not support a bill to repeal the Texas sodomy law, saying the matter would not come before the Dallas City Council.

Lerro and Young said that although the group did not endorse Miers, members believed she made a positive gesture by completing the questionnaire and agreeing to meet with them.

"She was not hostile nor did she come across as some kind of right-wing ideologue," said Young, a Dallas software engineer and a member of the Business Council of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay political group.

Lerro said Miers also stated on the questionnaire — and in her meeting with members of the gay group — that she opposes abortion, a response that prompted the group to eliminate her from contention for obtaining the group’s endorsement.

Lerro said he endorsed Miers for the Council post, saying he recalls that she expressed general support for equal rights for gays and indicated she opposed discrimination based on sexual orientation.

1. Let's see...we dislike her because she's a crony, Freepers hate her

for the same reason (and because she's not Janice Rogers Brown or Priscilla Owen) and they will hate her even more after this. Sounds like Miers has few friends on BOTH sides.
