Clinton, Obama Battle for LGBT Votes in Local Weeklies

Even as Barack Obama's campaign finalized an ad buy for four full-page ads in local gay weeklies in Ohio and Texas, Hillary Clinton was conducting a conference call on LGBT issues and answering the questions of local reporters from the Dallas Voice and two Ohio publications: Outlook Weekly and Gay People's Chronicle . Altogether, Clinton has done interviews with six LGBT outlets, including The Advocate , Logo, and The Washington Blade . Clinton also published a message to LGBT Americans on OurChart.com.
