Hmm... this guy is one of the few instances that allows me to say "you know, I don't care if he is gay, and that I'm gay--I still wont vote for him"... I'd need a lot more than his "gay-friendlyness" ...

$814 for rent?! In what neighborhood, Anacostia?! If you are averse to crime-ridden impoverished neighborhoods you really can't live in DC for under $950/mo in rent right now. If you want to live clos...
