Advocates and Democratic Party activists from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community were uniform in their praise for Delaware Senator Joseph Biden's selection as Barack Obama's vice presidential candidate -- even as some supporters of New York Senator Hillary Clinton voiced the view that she might have proved the best addition to the national ticket."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," Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's leading LGBT lobby, said in a written statement issued at 9 a.m., on Saturday, August 23, just eight hours after the news broke. "Senator Biden's record in the United States Senate is one of support and understanding that has been unwavering throughout his career."
