Obama defends choice of evangelical pastor
But Obama told reporters in Chicago that America needs to "come together," even when there's disagreement on social issues. "That dialogue is part of what my campaign is all about," he said.
Obama also said he's known to be a "fierce advocate for equality" for gays and lesbians, and will remain so.
You've been talking that talk for awhile, Obama. After having supported you for such a long time, I have to ask: how long before you start walking it?
ETA: Thanks to ninja_turbo for hooking me up with the email address for Parag Mehta, the LGBT liaison on Obama's transition committee. It's parag.mehta@ptt.gov -- I plan to write to him. I hope you do, too. Or at least, those of you who are American.
