When Senators Barack Obama and John McCain face off in Oxford, Mississippi Friday, gay activists won’t be far away. Gay groups and allies are organizing forums, workshops and demonstrations on issues important to gay and lesbian voters at the first presidential debate.
One of the most visible groups attending is the coalition of civil rights and religious leaders called the Campaign to End AIDS.
