Barack Obama's campaign has released a list of his LGBT supporters. The list, which primarily includes Chicago residents, including two people I know well. First, Jessica Halem is someone I had the pleasure of working with when she was the Executive Director of the Lesbian Community Cancer Project. Jessica has since left the organization to work full-time as a stand-up comic. Second, Jim Pickett is someone I first met at one of the Gay Men's Health summits. Jim is active in numerous LGBT and HIV/AIDS organizations including the International Rectal Microbicide Working Group.
I'm pleased to see that there are some great LGBT advocates involved in many of the campaigns, including Obama's. The complete list he sent out is listed below:
Michael Bauer, political consultant
Phil Burgess, Walgreen's pharmacy executive
Thomas Chaderjian, Stonewall Democrats
Rick Garcia, Equality Illinois
Vernita Gray, LGBT activist
Jessica Halem, Lesbian Comm. Cancer Project
Greg Harris, Illinois House of Representatives
Kevin Hauswirth, former editor, The Advocate
Robert Kohl, Chairman, Center on Halsted
Larry McKeon, former member, Illinois House
Gail Morse, attorney, partner in Jenner & Block
Mary F. Morten, former LGBT liaison to Mayor Richard M. Daley
Ed Mullen, attorney, partner Ross, Dixon & Bell
Jim Pickett, AIDS Foundation of Chicago
Debra Shore, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Chicago
Rev. Stan Sloan, exec. director, Chicago House
Tom Tunney, Chicago alderman
Richard Wilson, chair, National Lesbian and Gay Law Association
Lauren Verdich, political and health consultant
TOPICS: Culture/Society; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections; US: New York
KEYWORDS: 2008; gays; gayvote; homosexualagenda; liberals; obama
Like the thread about Hitlery, this one is a few months old...but appropro given the Larry Craig resignation pending today.
I noticed there is an executive from Walgreen's on this list. Hm.

I expect “former” Senator Craig to add his name to this list shortly.

Do as I did and go to the IRMWG.org website and buy the bumper sticker.
Show you care and boost awareness.

Do those "perfectly normal" health advocates have one that shows a map of Ft. Lauderdale's public restrooms?
Bet that'd be a sure-fire winner with that crowd...

Obama is putting his foot into the next stall, trolling.
