Gravel grumbles over not being invited to gay debate...

It's kinda cool to see a presidential candidate (even one with no chance in hell) ticked off that he was not asked to participate in the upcoming debate among Democratic candidates on LGBT issues. Mike Gravel wonders if he is just too opinionated for the Human Rights Campaign which is co-sponsoring the August debate. This is a comment I picked up from the Queerty blog:
"…I think the real reason why HRC didn’t invite me is that I’m too vocal in my advocacy of gay rights. None of the top tier candidates would have been comfortable facing an opponent who consistently points out their refusal to embrace true equality for gays and lesbians. HRC simply bowed to the star factor. It’s just a shame that this travesty was perpetrated in the name of the LGBT community."

Can you imagine one of the Republican candidates being so upset? Heck no. None of them even have the guts to participate in one so nothing is planned for the pathetic GOP side which includes John McCain who is blaming his downward spiral on "gay sweaters" he was advised to wear.

Gimme a break.
