Obama Refuses to Talk with Gay Media

Huffington Post posted this article from the Philadelphia Gay News on Barack Obama's slim record of communicating with the gay press. An accompanying editorial in the newspaper writes:

"At this point in the Democratic presidential campaign, we're able to view the candidates by their actions. And we have found that Sen. Barack Obama would rather talk at the LGBT community than with them...


The fact is that Obama has spoken with the gay press only twice, and one of those interviews...was in 2004, before he became a U.S. senator. The other limited interview occurred after controversy erupted when his campaign added an anti-gay minister to his tour of the South. It has now been 1,522 days since Obama has been accessible to our community."

If Obama would be willing to do an interview for Masc Dude Writer, I'd be happy to host him...
