Democrat John Edwards is touting prominent gay supporters who have signed on to his presidential campaign, including a former adviser to President Clinton.
Businessman David Mixner is one of 25 people listed on a news release that the Edwards campaign distributed Tuesday, along with a statement from the candidate saying he is honored to have the backing of so many respected gay leaders.
"They work hard every day to make our country a better place and I am proud to join with them to fight for equal rights for all Americans," Edwards said.
Edwards is making a push for gay support in the competitive Democratic presidential primary. In February, he came out in support of legislation that would end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that prevents people who are openly gay from serving in the military.
But Edwards has competition for the gay community's support — Barack Obama's campaign has also said he is opposed to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," as has Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign.

Wonder what Elizabeth Edwards thinks about having her children around these folks? But then I don’t guess that they are rabid Republicans, are they?

AS ORGEGON GOES OUT OF ITS WAY TO BEND OVER FOR THE GAYS
"the legislation goes so far as to allow judges to determine the 'primary purpose' of churches. He said it will control church hiring policies making the hiring of active homosexuals mandatory in every church operation that isn't directly in support of its primary mission goal."
EDWARDS JOINS THE GAY RIGHTS PARADE
"They work hard every day to make our country a better place and I am proud to join with them to fight for equal rights for all Americans," Edwards said.
EXCEPT FOR CHRISTIAN AMERICANS, WE WILL TAKE THEIR RIGHTS AND GIVE THEM TO THE GAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

I trust he’s trying to nail down Jim McGreevey’s support — there’s a guy that would be eager to support Edwards in exchange for a little PR flurry, and Edwards would be “proud” to have the support of such a “man”.......
