Gay men and lesbians have always had a soft spot for Hillary Clinton.In the mid-'90s,when "homosexual"was still a dirty word in much of the country,Bill Clinton and his wife socialized in the White House with a broad circle of gay friends.In the dark days of Whitewater and Monica,gays leaped to Hillary's defense,needing no convincing that a "right-wing conspiracy"was vast and real.At the annual gay-pride parade in Manhattan,drag queens and go-go boys compete for prominence with New York's political elite,but Clinton is always the star of the show.Lately,Clinton has been eager to bask in the gay love.Her young presidential campaign has already held two fund-raisers with major gay and lesbian donors.This week,after a scheduled appearance with the otherDemocratic contenders at a forum in L.A. on gay issues,she'll head to a fund-raiser at the West Hollywood gay hangout the Abbey.The attention may be paying off.According to gay journalist Lisa Keen's analysis of fund-raising to date in 2007,Clinton has earned 48% of the contributions from heavily gay ZIP codes nationally,compared with 39% for Barack Obama and 13% for John Edwards.In her personal life,accepting gays has always seemed to come easy to Clinton.As First Lady, she encouraged gay White House staffers to serve openly.

PS:This is the future of the WHite House,for what it seems really probable,since it seems that Hillary is "inevitable".If she in fact gets elected president,we have to gear up for an OPEN GAY AGENDA going full force in all fronts.
