We reported recently that the DNC's new faith outreach director, Rev. Derrick Harkins, had signed a pledge in favor of same-sex marriage in 2009, only to state his adamant opposition to marriage equality earlier this year (when asked by Sarah Posner if he favored same-sex marriage, he responded "no no no.")

It seems that rather than get back to those of us reporting on this, and back to the gay community itself, and explain what's going on, the DNC decided to clarify things to Billy Graham's magazine. (That should tell you something.) They explained to Billy Graham's magazine that Harkins's name on the pro- marriage equality statement was a mistake, he supposedly never put his name on it.

4. I'd respect the DNC, the President, and other Democratic politicians more

if they'd just come right out and tell us they don't give a shit about queers.

I'd rather have honesty.
