The head of a leading gay rights advocacy group in New York has begun criticizing Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's position on same-sex marriage and encouraging gays and lesbians to stop giving money to her re-election campaign.
In a memorandum to board members, Alan Van Capelle, the executive director of the group, the Empire State Pride Agenda, said Mrs. Clinton was "a complete disappointment," taking issue with her opposition to same-sex marriage and her support for a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage known as the Defense of Marriage Act.
In his memo, which was reported on Tuesday on the Politicker Web site of The New York Observer, Mr. Van Capelle said that he refused to "lend my name and sell tickets" to any fund-raiser sponsored by a gay group for Mrs. Clinton's re-election campaign.

That can't be, not Sen "Walking Eagle"
Thanks,homosexual "rights" advocates....you're helping to insure that she will never be president.

Senator Clinton at her one and only 9/11 funeral appearance: That of so-called "First Gay Saint" FDNY Chaplain Father Michael Judge.
But, but, Hilly is a known bi-sexual. The beast will not even win the RAT nomination in 08.
I wouldn't be suprised if the source of this story was the Senator's office.
Or awful close thereby
"Little do the pervs know, she is just trying to appear centrist."
Oh they know it, and they're fighting mad. AND I'M LOVIN' IT!!!
"Another little ploy to make the Marxist reptile appear "moderate."
But that's o.k. because even if only 5% (just a guess on my part) of the population is gay or "gay sympathizers", she would start off with a significant number of voters (and they do vote) against her. This could make a big difference in a close election.
Every Pubbie starts off with a deficit of about 16% when you consider that 90% of the Black Community and 70% of the Gay Community vote Democratic.
I don't care what she says. I won't be voting for any democrat until the Clinton's and all their hangers'on are out of the party.
