CONCORD, New Hampshire (AP) — The Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president on Thursday, even though they don’t share the same views on issues critical to gays and lesbians.
“Frankly, I don’t think there’s any major candidate that is where we in the gay community would hope they would be on our issues,” V. Gene Robinson said in a conference call with reporters. “That being said, I would say the senator has been enormously supportive of our issues. We appreciate his support for civil unions.”
It's hard to say whether that endorsement will help him or hurt him among the Dem primary voters. It certainly won't help him in the general election.
