Queer Nation stages kiss in at Nunn's Washington office
About 20 Queer Nation members held a kiss in at Georgia Senator Sam Nunn's office to protest what they call his political homophobia. Spokesman Mike Petrelis cites Nunn's decade old dismissal of two homosexual aides as justification. Nunn admits asking the aides to seek other jobs due to their sexuality but argues he has employed openly gay people in non security roles. The protest feeds opposition to Nunn as a potential Clinton era defense secretary amid debates over gays in the military.
