		<description><![CDATA[As a gay man, I was proud to vote for Scott Brown. I am sick of the liberal leaders of our community labeling everyone &#039;homophobes&#039;. Scott Brown sincerely believes that our lifestyle choice is an unhealthy one and not appropriate for raising children. That doesn&#039;t make him anti-gay. My bedroom antics aren&#039;t the top priority in my life and he knows that.

There are so many more important national issues than endorsing artificial male/male marriages. We already have what could be characterized as &quot;special rights&quot; in many states that explicitly protect us in employment and housing. I&#039;m proud of Log Cabin and GOProud for representing the majority of gay men who reject the liberal gay agenda.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I stated on a blog referring to this original article. This article is a misleading. President Obama does not support gay marriage but he does support civil unions on the national level and has stated that gays and lesbians should have the same equality as those that are married. Scott Brown only supports civil unions on a state by state basis which isn&#039;t the same thing. Actually using the term &quot;support&quot; is misleading, Scott Brown has not promised to do ANYTHING that would promote civil unions or increase gay civil rights! Scott Brown voted twice in Massachusetts to amend the state constitution to define marriage as between one man and one women. He even supported the original Travers amendment which would have forbid civil unions President Obama opposed DOMA and voted against the Federal Marriage amendment. He was against the California amendment of the constitution. He has also promised to reverse Don&#039;t Ask, Don&#039;t Tell. While he may not have followed through on some of his promises yet, he has shown that he is at least interested in pursing rights for the LGBT community, while Scott Brown has remained silent. The big issue is that Scott Brown is not running against President Obama, but Martha Coakley! Martha Coakley has a measurable and outstanding record for supporting the GLBT community. She believes in marriage equality and has made history by filing a lawsuit to repeal DOMA. Even Martha Coakley’s Web site carefully specifies the gay and lesbian issues that still need work (a full repeal of DOMA and ’don’t ask, don’t tell,’ the military’s ban on gays and lesbians serving openly, as well as protection against hate crimes and ending housing discrimination) . Scott Brown promise nothing to the gay community and has NOT supported it in the past. There is no way that someone who has done their research can say that Scott Brown isn&#039;t bad for the Gay community. He has a definite, measurable record of being ANTI-GAY! To quote a friend, &quot;Gays voting for Scott Brown is like chickens voting for Col. Sanders!&quot;]]></description>
