So Far, Media Quiet on D.C. Gay-Left Activism/Protest Weekend

October 10th, 2009 8:34 AM

President Obama speaks tonight at a fundraising banquet for the gay-left Human Rights Campaign, the same group Ted Kennedy joked before last year about Jesse Helms being in Hell. The dinner will also feature entertainment by pop star Lady Gaga and the cast of the Fox prime-time show "Glee," made by infamously raunchy gay producer Ryan Murphy.

The dinner and Sunday's National Equality March on Washington have been barely mentioned by the national media, certainly the Washington Post. The Post only has a map buried in the Metro section on Saturday. It should get greater notice after Obama speaks -- and is even protested by unhappy gay "liberation" activists.

March organizers are touting a Thursday night segment (gay activists pressing Obama unanimously from the left) on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. As expected, a cast of Hollywood liberals are official endorsers of the march for what they call "gay marriage":
