So it seems that "new media" users and activists are spurring challenges to the way we think about presidential campaigns. We've had the YouTube/CNN debate, and now we're gearing up for the HRC/Logo debate. While neither HRC nor Logo are "new media" entities, they want to use the democratizing force of the Internet by inviting you to submit questions that will be asked by HRC president Joe Solmonese, singer Melissa Etheridge, and journalist Jonathan Capeheart.
Issues that uniquely affect the lives of LGBT citizens are often neglected in presidential politics. Do you have a question you'd like the candidates to address? Is there an issue you think has been left out of the traditional debate scheme too often?
Click here to submit your question. Ask them about the Mathew Shepard Act. Ask them why civil rights for LGBT citizens differ from state to state. Ask them about Don't Ask Don't Tell. Ask them about discrimination in housing, medical care, and employment. Ask them anything that matters to you!
Then, watch the debate on August 9 at 9pm Eastern on Logo or on the Logo web site .
