Missed the forum last night? Here are the highlights from the three who matter most on their opinion about the top issue, gay marriage:

Hillary Clinton (see more highlights here):

Barack Obama (see more highlights here):

John Edwards (see more highlights here):

The Human Rights Campaign and MTV Network’s Logo channel will be hosting a Democratic debate Thursday, August 9 at 9pm to discuss LGBT issues. The hot topic? Gay marriage, duh. This debate is historic, so it would be a good idea to watch it. If you don’t have Logo or are a poor college student without cable, you can watch online. My guess is that one or two of the candidates will fall flat on their face tonight, except for Hillary, who will come out on top as usual. FactCheck.org has a great overview of the issues involved with the gay marriage debate.

Confirmed:
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Mike Gravel
Dennis Kucinich
Barack Obama
Bill Richardson

I did a search for the Hawley-Green neighborhood I live in on Google, and it turns out there is a Wikipedia listing—complete with a photo of my apartment. Love it!

Tucked away in a triangle one block south of James Street, the major artery of Syracuse’s northeastern neighborhoods, Hawley-Green was at first home to carpenters, wagon makers, silversmiths, painters, and musicians. Its original housing stock consisted of splendid Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and Italianate-style structures, some of which stll line its charming streets.

Since I moved in over a year ago, things have been getting much nicer. I saw two people with orange “Hawley-Green” shirts and clipboards walking around the neighborhood. The apartment complex across the street is being renovated—it used to be a dump. I love living here and I love my gaybors.
