Pot of Gold for Dr. Dan

I find it interesting how politics make strange bedfellows.

Two people have come to me in the last week with an invitation they received for a fund raiser for Steve Beshear and Dan Mongiardo.

The invitation, signed by a well known Lexington fairness activist, contains the following:

“Steve has assured me that that (the typo was in the invitation) he will promptly re-execute Governor Patton’s Executive Order banning discrimination against state government employees who are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or transgendered. As to this issue, I will also not that Sen. Mongiardo recently voted in opposition to the Senate Bill which seeks to forbid our state universities and colleges from offering health care domestic partner benefits to its unmarried employees.”

Now I don’t have a problem with re-executing Patton’s order, nor do I disagree with Mongiardo’s vote on an incredibly short sighted Senate bill.

What I have a problem understanding is how the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered community can embrace a slate where one member was the sponsor of the Constitutional Amendment to ban same sex marriage.

How can you “help us fill a ‘pot of gold’” for a guy whose record clearly shows he is clearly challenged in the consistency department?
