blogalink - Andrew Miller steps forward for gay rights

Bumper Sticker Wisdom has profiled Andrew Miller here before, taking notes from a comprehensive article in Willamette Week.  Miller is an activist Oregon Republican who is not shy about spending money to defeat unions or showcase his conservative agenda.  For reasons you can study at this new link, Miller has just announced unequivocally that he supports gay marriage.  By any perspective this is a progressive stance and, at this moment in time, the announcement is a risky political move. 

There is no doubt that this is a game changer in Oregon politics.  Whether or not it plays out the way Miller wants it to remains to be seen.  His views on unions and the perquisites of money are well known.  His views on gays were less well known and his revealing them constitutes news.  Progressives can rightly applaud his initiative.
