Google it though I might, I can't find other activity. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have done much else.

I don't get what it's supposed to mean: to support gay Americans we should be gagged? It looks to me like an exercise in self-congratulation. But I'm prepared to be educated. Plus they're all Democrats: who could have predicted? Someone needs to explain this campaign to me. I don’t get what it’s supposed to mean: to support gay Americans we should be gagged?
