The nation's top federal gay lobbying group says in a report today that John McCain is anti-gay and that despite pretenses to moderation and toleration, he is just as dangerous for gays as George W. Bush.
Human Rights Campaign VP David Smith sums up the case: "Similar to Bush, Sen. John McCain opposes equal benefits for same-sex couples; opposes the Employment Non Discrimination Act to prohibit discrimination against GLBT Americans in the workplace; opposes expanding the hate crimes act to include sexual orientation, and supports the military's discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy."
The report notes that McCain opposes the Federal Marriage Amendment but, in that same year, he opposed an Arizona measure prohibiting gays from forming civil unions and getting married Human Rights Campaign Says McCain Represents "Four More Years Of Anti-Gay Policies."
