The Media’s Take on Clinton, Philly, and the LGBT Community
When Philadelphia’s largest gay political group, the Liberty City Democratic Club, endorsed Hillary Clinton Monday, LGBT blogs and newspapers took notice. Though both Clinton and Barack Obama spent time campaigning in Ohio and Texas via LGBT press by giving interviews, publishing op-eds, and taking out ad space, they haven’t been as active in Pennsylvania LGBT press. Despite the absence of targeted campaigning, Philadelphia Gay News’ publisher has been quoted as saying: “The Clinton campaign takes the GLBT community very seriously.”
LGBT outlets in Philadelphia have focused their candidate coverage on Clinton this week, recapping that two of the city’s three LGBT Democratic groups have endorsed her. It will be interesting to see if Obama or Clinton will reach out to LGBT outlets like the Philadelphia Gay News or EDGE Philadelphia the way they did in Ohio and Texas. Stay tuned to see which candidate the LGBT community in Pennsylvania stands behind during the April 22 primary.
