Gay Activists To Cory Booker: "We've Got Your Back"

Gay activists want Mayor Cory Booker (pictured left) to challenge New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

From the Newark Star-Ledger, about the moderate-liberal Democrat: "Steven Goldstein, the head of New Jersey’s largest gay rights organization, says he’ll go 'door to door from New Jersey to West Hollywood to raise millions of dollars' if Newark Mayor Cory Booker runs for governor "

More: "The support is hardly surprising. Booker has made public acceptance of gays a central theme since coming to office in 2006. He has refused to officiate at weddings until same-sex couples have equal rights, raised the gay pride flag at Newark City Hall, and formed a commission to foster a 'safe haven' for gay youths. Now they’re poised to return the favor."
