Giannoulias Highlighted As A "Pro-Equality" Candidate

The National Stonewall Democrats, an organization dedicated to electing pro-LGBT candidates to office, has a new website up highlighting 30 federal candidates from across the country who stand out on issues of equality.  Among them is Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias, who has vocally opposed the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and expressed support for gay marriage in Illinois.
