Senator John McCain stated that he was proud of the support he has received from these elected Florida Republicans. "These men are respected leaders in their communities and have real experience wrestling with the important issues of our day," Senator McCain said. "Along with Florida voters, I will turn to these leaders. Their counsel will be very helpful and their support invaluable."

why include that information? i'm not guessing it's to show that he is really a good guy -- or that someone can be gay an a volunteer. it seems to be included to freak out conservative parents who sign up thier kids in little league and let them join the B&G Club...
