Obama Courts Gay Vote in Texas, Ohio

Obama is going after the gay vote in the red states according to the Advocate:

Full-page ads will appear starting this Friday in Outlook Weekly of Columbus, the Gay People's Chronicle of Cleveland, the Dallas Voice, and OutSmart, which is Houston-based. Buying a full-page, four-color ad that appears one time typically costs anywhere between $1,000 and $2,000 in weekly publications. In the Gay People's Chronicle, for instance, the ad cost about $850, according to the paper's advertising manager;the same ad went for about $1,500 in the Dallas Voice.

[Obama LGBT steering committee member Eric Stern] paraphrased the message of the ad as a "call for the country to come together and unify around creating national progress toward equality for LGBT Americans."
