John McCain’s wife petitions him to support bill barring anti-gay workplace discrimination

According to the Washington Post, Cindy McCain was approached by John Gomez of the Human Rights Watch who asked her to sign a postcard to her husband encouraging his support of the Employment Non-Discrimination bill.

The bill passed a Senate committee in July and may come soon to the chamber floor, although John McCain has so far not supported the legislation.

Cindy and her daughter Meghan have been vocal gay rights supporters, John McCain, not so much.

just up the creek from me, but I've never met any of them, and I don't think they stay there much.

My girlfriend and I have gone skinny dipping in a swimming hole on the National Forest land, right before the creek flows onto their property, for years

It's good to know that they're gay friendly, because now, if we ever see them while we're swimming, we can invite them to come swim with us and have a glass of wine and some cheese and have a nice chat about marriage and rights.

I was a weekend counseler/bus driver/baby sitter at Oak Creek Ranch School.
