Harold Ford, the former Tennessee congressman who is considering a challenge to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, encountered a hostile audience when he spoke at a meeting of the Stonewall Democratic Club in Manhattan last night (The Daily News). Ford attempted to explain his history of anti-gay votes by saying his views had evolved over time. He was shouted down by members of the The Power, a recently formed gay rights activist group. Since joining the Senate, Gillibrand has become a vocal proponent of overturning Don't Ask Don't Tell and has come out in favor of marriage equality.
