This won’t be long. I just want to plant a little seed of thought into the minds of you politically-aware NYU kiddies in anticipation of John McCain’s acceptance speech tonight. It’s no secret to anyone who sets foot near Washington Square Park that NYU prides itself on being an LGBT-friendly university. Because of that, you can expect regular updates on the progress (hopefully) being made by the LGBT community from me throughout the year. One of my favorite John McCain moments happened exactly a year ago today when he was touring the country on the campaign trail and a high school student asked him what he planned to do on LGBT issues and workers’ rights. The septuagenarian did not know what “LGBT” stood for. It wasn’t some spin by a Washington talking head, he actually said, “I had not heard that phrase before.” Awesome! This just goes to show everyone the severe gaps in relevance between the two candidates. Enjoy the speech tonight!
