The Republicans are going to put their attack on GLBT rights front and center. Based on what I've seen of even the most peripheral contenders (See Donald Trump), anti-gay bigotry will be a centerpiece of the rhetoric that will be spewed 360 degrees in all directions.
The question as I see it, is how will the Democratic Party step up to the challenge? I'm cautiously optimistic, but more cautious than optimistic.
Will we finally turn the corner and get full-throated support rather than a tepid mixture of thinly veiled disapproval and mealy-mouthed platitudes about toleration?
