My rainbow flow is staying where it belongs, thankyouverymuch, and hopefully yours is, too.
As 99.9% of you know by now (some of you Crackberry freaks knew at about 3:19am), Joe Biden is Barack Obama's pick for running mate. Queer blogs are buzzing with the statement released by Human Rights Campaign's Joe Solmonese:
"In selecting Senator Joe Biden as his running mate, Senator Obama has chosen a proven and effective advocate for fairness and equality that our entire community can be proud of. Senator Biden’s record in the United States Senate is one of support and understanding that has been unwavering throughout his career."
Curiously, at time of this posting, HRC had not yet updated their site with this news.
