Billie Jean King clarifies her views on Sarah Palin...

My hero Billie Jean King made a remark to the New York Observer about Sarah Palin a few days ago that raised some eyebrows because they seemed to indicate that the famous feminist and equal rights activist was supporting the Republican vice presidential candidate.

BJK claried her remarks today in a statement: "Last Friday, reporter from the New York Observer asked me what I thought about Sarah Palin. I told her I thought Sarah Palin was honest and real. I believe that. But, that in no way should be viewed as an endorsement of any kind. I oppose many of the positions of Sarah Palin, particularly those tied to the LGBT community. I am supporting Barack Obama and, in fact, I have lent my name to both Women for Obama and the Obama LGBT Steering and Policy Committee."
