The top three Democratic presidential candidates are fairly equal in their level of support of equal rights for LGBT people, according to a story in The New York Times.

Although none of the candidates support same-sex marriage, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards are in favor of same-sex civil unions, a transgender-inclusive ENDA, and a repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell."

Alan Van Capelle, executive director of New York State LGBT advocacy group Empire State Pride Agenda, told the Times, "You would need a magnifying glass to see any real or substantive differences between the three candidates." (The Advocate)
