John Edwards courting gay voters...

With my primary vote up for grabs, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards scores points with me for touting prominent gay supporters who have signed on to his presidential campaign, including a former adviser to President Clinton.
According to Advocate.com, blogger David Mixner is one of 25 people listed on a news release that the Edwards campaign distributed Tuesday, along with a statement from the candidate saying he is honored to have the backing of so many respected gay leaders.
''They work hard every day to make our country a better place and I am proud to join with them to fight for equal rights for all Americans,'' Edwards said.
Edwards is making a push for gay support in the competitive Democratic presidential primary. In February, he came out in support of legislation that would end the ''don't ask, don't tell'' policy that prevents people who are openly gay from serving in the military.
But Edwards has competition for the gay community's support: Barack Obama's campaign has also said he is opposed to ''don't ask, don't tell,'' as has Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign. She also told the Human Rights Campaign last month that she wants a partnership with gays if elected president.
None have come out in support of gay marriage and I'm also not clear on their stance in regards to anti-discrimination legislation...
