This afternoon, June 6, 2008, the Obama campaign had a nation wide conference call for LGBT folks. It appeared primarily as an out reach to Clinton folks, which as many know included lots of GLBT Leaders. The call was led by Deputy Campaign Manager Steve Hildebrandt who reached out as well as reported that the campaign has been working for 6 weeks on the plans, budget and processes for gearing up a Presidential campaign in all 50 states and 7 territories (excuse me for a parochial thought, but I live in a District not a territory, even if none of us have representation but DC alone has taxation).

Elizabeth Birch talked about her transition from Clinton to Obama and the camapign journey’s meaning to her 9 year old bi-racial adopted twins. Joe Solmonese announced HRC endorsement of Obama today (http://www.hrc.org/10571.htm) And my favorite David Mixner talked well of the naturalness of Obama’s support and understanding of gay folk.

DC Dems are having a LGBTQ Kiss and Make Up at Halo this Sunday!
