"If recent events are any indication, national Democrats aren’t in any hurry to lead the battle to advance LGBT rights now that they control both congressional chambers and are fielding strong 2008 Democratic presidential contenders," writes Laura Kiritsy in Bay Windows (skip down to where it says 'Dems using the gays. Again').

She notes:

• When Rep. Marty Meehan said he wanted to hold hearings in his subcommittee (part of Armed Services) about the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, Pelosi intervened and questioned why this was the first thing he wanted to do as chair.
  
• Hillary Clinton gave a talk to HRC, but didn't publicize it.
• When Ann Coulter essentially called John Edwards a faggot, Edwards (and HRC) criticized it, but failed to speak more broadly about anti-gay speech or link anti-gay speech to anti-gay violence.
