Here is a great video of Steve Kornell, who is running for the St. Petersburg City Council. He would be the first out gay member of the Council if elected. He was asked three questions:
* Are you gay?
* how will that affect your ability to do your job?
* will you be pursuing a "gay agenda"?

This was his answer. He received a standing ovation for it.
