Indiana Stonewall Democrats

This past year’s election dramatically changed dynamics at the Indiana State.  It provided Republicans with undisputed control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.  While some have called for a moratorium on “hot button” issues, a number of legislators seem “hell bent” on forcing their personal agendas on Hoosiers.

Over the past four years Democratic House Speaker Pat Bauer refused to even hear some of these issues, but new Speaker Brian Bosma, a Republican, is obviously allowing those issues, including the marriage discrimination amendment, to be brought before the State Legislature.

Over the past few weeks, I have been asked repeatedly by LGBT friends if they should vote Tuesday as a Gay and abstain on the U.S. Senate race or as a Democrat and support Brad Ellsworth.  I have been sure of few things in my life; however, I can tell you that a vote for Ellsworth on Tuesday is one that allows a Gay Hoosier, regardless of political affiliation, to walk into the booth and vote as a Gay.
