MassEquality Endorses Menino

Maybe it was the parade. The MassEquality gay rights PAC, which has been a major player in the efforts to spread marriage equality throughout New England, has endorsed Thomas Menino's candidacy for an unprecedented fifth term as mayor of Boston. "When it comes to supporting marriage equality, programming for LGBT youth and seniors, HIV/AIDS prevention and education, and legislation to prevent discrimination based on gender identity and expression, Mayor Menino is without peer," Executive Director Scott Gortikov said in press release.
