I understand - but it still leaves out most of the candidates. The same tactic can be used against all of them except for Edwards and Lieberman.

Kerry is as "culturally liberal" as Dean (They're practically neighbors). He stood up against Santorium's gay bashing (to his great credit).

I know that I'm preaching to choir but I have had the great good fortune to have been taught by some wonderful people who happened to be gay; I have some very compassionate and loving friends who are gay; I am working side by side with with some very smart, committed volunteers who are gay - and if this country isn't big enough to include them has first class citizens - it is not big enough for me either. I am not going to put up with any more intimidation or bigotry without pushing back - these people are Americans and they deserve to be treated as Americans.

There are "cultural" issues but I think they apply more to being percieved as a "wimp" or as lacking leadership.
