Perhaps Mr. Gomez finally got the message that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and their allies are not impressed with his refusal to clearly state an opinion on pending LGBT-related legislation and policies?
The special election to fill the U. S. Senate seat vacated by John Kerry will be held on June 25.

While it would be nice if all of North America, and other continents too, supported gay rights, I assume the word you are looking for immediately above the first photo is “contingent”:)
good catch – fixed – thx.
Comparatively speaking it’s cool to even see a GOP at a pride parade. As someone who got married in Boston, but who lives in North Carolina, seeing anything but Democratic and local nonpartisan candidates at pride parades is a foreign site. Still, I think not intentionally not letting people know where you stand, is pretty clear evidence of where you stand.
Markey marches for equality. Gomez stands around should anyone ask a question. If you won’t walk for something, why should anyone believe you would work for it?
or even my thoughts? You come to me.
