Michelle Obama made a special appearance at the HRC/Victory Fund LGBT Delegate luncheon today. This is hosted by Barney Frank and sponsored by HRC and The Victory Fund.

Dave Stewart (formerly one half of Eurythmics) and Bono wrote this beautiful new song as a testament to the hope and promise of political change represented by the Obama campaign.

The announcement just came out from various news agencies-Barack Obama has named Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) as his vice-presidential running mate.
I wanted to put together a look at Biden’s stance on LGBT rights over the years. Biden scored a 78% from the HRC 2006 rankings on LGBT rights. I’ve gathered information on his votes and quotes about hate crimes legislation, employment discrimination, DADT, immigration equality, marriage equality and civil unions. This list is by no means complete. If you know more information, feel free to leave it in the comments!
