Subject: I STRONGLY DISAGREE. Kerry stood up for you LONG before anyone else did in the well of the Senate back in 85.
He did so again by advocating for gays to serve openly in the military.
He called DOMA "gay bashing in the Senate"...a very unpopular thing to say.
Dean was able to sign that civil unions bill in 2000 BECAUSE of the longtime efforts of those like Kerry who kept pushing for fairer treatment of gays when it was VERY UNPOPULAR to do so.
Gay rights did NOT start with the latecomer Howard Dean.
