Barack Obama has pledged to put the weight of his administration behind two key federal bills.<span id="more-1433"></span><br />
In an open letter to gay voters titled “Obama Pride,” the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said he has long fought to “eliminate discrimination” against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans.</p>
<p>“And as president,” he said, “I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes and pass a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act to outlaw workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1338" title="bil-bio" src="http://www.bestgayblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/bil-bio.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="200" />When the DNC denied &#8220;The Bilerico Project&#8221; credentials for the convention, but awarded to Towleroad, Bil Browning was anything but pleased.  Bil thinks that Towleroad is a bit uppity in comparison to his own site. <span id="more-1340"></span><br />
Here is the gist of his complaint&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Towleroad is not known for racial diversity, trans inclusion, or its lesbian audience. It is a site for wealthy gay white men &#8211; the HRC demographic. Their <a href="http://web.blogads.com/adspotsfolder/ba_adspotsfolder_revision_create_shortcut?persistent_uid=8e7e466f168967d2984077186e341e00">advertising info</a> reads &#8220;News. Entertainment. Gossip. Media. Art. Life. Most Unique Users: 500,000; 95% male; 85% US; 52% earn $75,000+; 40% earn $100,000+&#8221; Where was &#8220;politics&#8221; in that description? Did they pick up on the lack of women? What about the lack of average American salaries? Towleroad&#8217;s readers&#8217; average salary is almost double the median annual household income. <em>Household.</em> Not one person.</p></blockquote>
<p>Looks like some of the other blogs that picked this story up also have some opinions on the matter.  This comment on <a href="http://www.queerty.com/dem-conventions-gay-blog-selection-raises-eyebrows-20080530/#comments" target="_blank">Queerty</a> cracked us up&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><span class="comments_item_count"><a href="http://www.queerty.com/dem-conventions-gay-blog-selection-raises-eyebrows-20080530/#comment-57997"></a>Matt</span></p>
<p>Don’t forget the other M on Towleroad, Mario Lopez.  Everytime he shits he is on there lol.</p></blockquote>
<div class="comments_item_body"></div>
<p>We&#8217;ll leave the judging for someone else, but it is the story of the day it seems in gay political subculture.</p>
