Jim – sadly, that’s true. So far, she hasn’t been questioned on GLBT issues and I can’t help but wonder if that’s because the GOP people don’t consider that such an important issue this time around or they suspect she is actually “empathetic” to their views on this issue. God help Obama if she turns out to be anti-gay.

Catholic AND Latina???????????????????

Neither bodes well for The Gays, does it.

She belongs to 2 of the most homo-hating groups of people on planet Earth.

The GLBT community is pretty much the last community to actually need Federal protections that are afforded to everyone else based upon their race, religion etc.

Just like because someone is in the LGBTQ community, doesn’t mean that they support ethnic rights or people in general.

Well she is “Catholic” and “Latina” so there is a start! What have the Catholics and the latinos done for LGBT in Cali. and/or other states…

ya ya I know that is generalization but I agree with Chris Sullivan’s comment.

Not sure how far the “empathy” of the “wise Latina” extends… just because someone is an ethnic minority doesn’t mean they support GLBT rites. Hopefully, she will prove a good ally.
