LOS ANGELES — The leading Democratic presidential candidates all but apologized for their failure to support same-sex marriage before a largely gay and lesbian television audience Thursday night.

The Los Angeles forum, organized by the Human Rights Campaign and the gay-themed cable network LOGO, marked the newfound political confidence of a community being swept into the mainstream by a swift, generational change in American views.

The debate's panelists, who included the president of the HRC, a Washington Post editorial writer and the lesbian rock star Melissa Etheridge, took for granted the candidates' support for a sweeping package of federal rights for gays and lesbians.

And they drew repeated apologies from the candidates with longer records in public life, as New York Sen. Hillary Clinton defended her husband's record and Clinton, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson each apologized for past mistakes.

More from the article:

Edwards, for his part, pleased the crowd with a set of specific commitments. He said he would favor teaching about gay and lesbian families in public schools, and would personally help a hypothetical transgendered aide to transition to the other sex. And he firmly said he would take the question of gays in the military out of the hands of military officers, to whom President Clinton showed great deference in 1992.

They all ARE for same sex marriage. They all understand advocating it in public would be political suicide.

Reveal what we are spending on AIDS patients. The new med is $900/mo. That is a lot to pay for looking the other way when sick people criminally infect others.

The gays said how courageous these candidates were for standing up fore their convictions.

And they mentioned Hillary looked wonderful in chiffon.

COMPLETE BS, this story is to give cover to the party.

Support of homosexual civil unions does create homosexual based marriage.

THIS is going to be the only part reported.

Democrats lie, and homosexuals are counting on it.
