			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have avoided explicit praise or criticism of Obama, but his initial refusal this week to disavow <a href="http://www.washblade.com/2007/3-16/news/national/10197.cfm">Gen. Pace&#8217;s anti-gay comments</a> reminds me of the Harry Belafonte quote <a href="http://obamamedia.com/blog/2007/03/15/belafonte-on-obama-stop-playing-a-goddamn-game-of-politics/">I shared yesterday</a>: &#8220;All he has to do is be truthful and have a vision for what to do and stop playing a goddamn game of politics.”  We can agree that neither Obama nor HRC is anti-gay, indeed, they <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-ushill0316,0,7484037.story?coll=ny-leadnationalnews-headlines">found their morals yesterday</a> (or at least their spokesman and website, respectively, did) after hearing from the <a href="http://www.hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Home&#038;CONTENTID=35817&#038;TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm">Human Rights Campaign</a> and others. (The fact that HRC equivocated as much, if not more that Obama does not excuse it.) <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-usgays155131112mar15,0,5117683.story?coll=ny-nationalnews-print">Glenn Thrush at Newsday</a> asks &#8220;why the dance?&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Clinton and Obama supporters, speaking on condition of  anonymity, said both might have been trying to avoid offending socially  conservative Democrats, particularly churchgoing African-Americans, who share  Pace&#8217;s views.</p>
<p>Steve Sanders, a gay Democrat who sat on the party&#8217;s platform committee in  2000, said Clinton and Obama are engaged in a delicate balancing act. &#8220;Hillary  and Barack have made very public overtures to religious Americans.  They are  trying to figure out how progressive Democrats can also make appeals to  Americans of faith.  It&#8217;s a work in progress.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Andy has more extensive thoughts at <a href="http://www.towleroad.com/2007/03/dem_candidates_.html">towleroad</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s a pretty simple question, don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p>John Edwards, so far, has been the most light on his feet on this issue. Asked by Wolf Blitzer on <em>The Situation Room</em> whether he agrees with Pace&#8217;s comments, <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/14/clinton.gays/">Edwards replied, &#8220;I don&#8217;t share that view.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>We certainly deserve better answers from our candidates, and should demand them.</p></blockquote>
