As we wrote yesterday, North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley introduced Hillary yesterday and said that she was no "pansy." Well, the pansies weren't amused. The LA Times reports that the story made its way to the Smoking Gun and to the Drudge Report, and now the professional gays are getting involved:
We checked with the Washington headquarters of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's premier group promoting gay rights, and it already had a statement in the works.
Trevor Thomas, the group's deputy communications director, sent out this e-mail a few minutes later: "We certainly wish the governor would have chosen his words better and have expressed our disappointment to his staff.”
We've asked the Clinton campaign for a comment but, as of now, nothing has been issued.
