A Candidate For Equality

Submitted by Gordon Smith on Mon, 09/14/2009 - 4:08pm

Pam Spaulding features my Asheville City Council campaign today at The Blend. In addition to my stances on affordable housing, sustainability measures, and multimodal transportation - I am an unflagging advocate for equality for our LGBT citizens. Here's a teaser, but go read the whole thing:

The gay and lesbian citizens of Asheville deserve equal recognition and equal benefits. To deny these benefits is to relegate gay and lesbian couples to second-class status. We all know that Asheville is a gay-friendly city, and our city government ought to reflect our commitment to honoring the civil rights of all our citizens.

Thanks for dropping by, Gordon.

A very nice diary at dKos outlining a stark choice in Asheville City Council. If you want to poke Glenn Beck in the eye, consider dropping a little coin at Gordon For Asheville. Alternately, just rec this thing up and comment!

Just like other minority groups there comes a time when you stop supporting the party people, and run to represent your consistency.
