Comments on: Better Late than Never: Chris Dodd on LGBT Issues http://www.mombian.com/2007/08/13/better-late-than-never-chris-dodd-on-lgbt-issues/ Sustenance for Lesbian Moms Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:39:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Christian R. http://www.mombian.com/2007/08/13/better-late-than-never-chris-dodd-on-lgbt-issues/comment-page-1/#comment-71291 Christian R.

Invited responses were critical of Dodd for not explaining his absence from this historically significant political event. One respondent pointed out that on the one hand, Dodd believes that being GLBT is not a choice; on the other, he used the contradictory term "sexual preference." Quite a few respondents took it from there, but were respectful in tone. Dodd did not reply on the the blog. How can he affirm that he regards the GLBT community as other than voter resorces to be exploited, with little worry that states rights will require him to do more??. He has something to lose here.

This candidate demonstrated a lack of respect and concern for gays and lesbians when he chose not to show. His "scheduling conflict?" Being photographed standing alone in a field in New Hampshire. His campaign Flickr'd the photo, which I posted on my blog at http://www.lifeonq.com. While the other candidates disappointed us to varying degrees in their forum statements, at least they had the courage to stand up, reach out and be heard. Meanwhile Dodd chose to stand out in a field.
