Shes done alot to highlight gay rights in the past year but I think the bottom line is that she doesnt want to be labled as the 'gay' commentator. Perhaps thats why shes not as forceful but again shes not an activist anymore, so its not like she can become the leader of the movement anyway.Sabrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642494993529607940.post-46315464602864838062009-10-23T22:19:01.404-04:002009-10-23T22:19:01.404-04:00I know what you mean about overusing rachel.I know what you mean about overusing rachel.LumenArchttp://www.lumenarc.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642494993529607940.post-40080510334084690632009-10-22T00:22:39.432-04:002009-10-22T00:22:39.432-04:00Yeah, CEP, I am a great supporter of gay rights, a...Yeah, CEP, I am a great supporter of gay rights, as you know, but the guy just seemed, I dunno, kinda smarmy to me...the "Rachel" as often as he said it, the faux familiarity thing, it just wasn't workin' for the Politico household. <br /><br />Really glad to see that Maine is being proactive early. Here in CA, it seemed like the No on 8 efforts got off to a weak start.

I find it interesting how a lot gay marriage rights peeps get upset with Maddow for not doing/saying more about the issue. Rachel could get married herself if she wanted to, she lives in MA. I think as an equal rights thing, she's on board, but people overestimate her willingness to be a champion, per seAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
