Teresa Heinz Kerry says gays can call on her as first lady
Sweeping into a meeting of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus at the Democratic Convention yesterday, our favorite loose cannon Teresa Heinz Kerry praised the activists for "pushing the envelope" to secure their rights. "If nothing else, you will have a mom in the White House," the wife of Democratic nominee John Kerry said. "You can call your Mama T anytime." Delegates and supporters leapt to their feet and chanted, "Mama T, Mama T, Mama T." Mama T's husband, on the other hand, opposes gay marriage, and while he has opposed anti-gay-marriage legislation at the federal level, he's supported it at the state level in Massachusetts.
