Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's just a really, very,
extremely strange coincidence. Or a bad camera angle/lighting. But today, I saw what might be the biggest pander ever, to the point it's almost comical. Sam Nunn, the VP hopeful with the anti-gay track record, went into a press conference wearing a rainbow tie. Yes, rainbow, as in the full-on bright red, yellow, green, and purple kind of rainbow. I took the below screenshot from CNN.
So I guess I would just like to know if anyone here maybe knows about this press conference and could provide some context to this photo. The link to the actual Cnn video can be found here.
Now, its already been widely reported that Nunn has reversedhis longstanding support for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Is this this his latest clumsy attempt at repairing his LGBT relations? Is he seriously trying to win over gays like this? Or was he completely oblivious in making his "fashion statement" today?
I would have to say, if this was his attempt at a slight wink and nod to gay groups, he certainly came flying out of the closet instead.
