Maybe Weiner isn't that bad

Last month I posted that probably would not be voting for Rep. Anthony Weiner for NYC mayor next year, because of his comments about the Roger Clemens-baseball-steroids controversy. Last night, at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force New York Leadership Awards Dinner, I was reminded that Weiner was one of the seven Congressmembers who refused to vote for ENDA last fall because protections for transpeople had been removed from it.

This certainly raises Weiner way up in my appreciation--ENDA is far more important than steroids in baseball. But NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn is still my personal frontrunner. I hope she isn't hurt by the ficticious group appropriation mess.
