Web Spotlight: BlogActive

BlogActive may well be the most important blog on the LGBT rights front. Mike Rogers, a dedicated activist on behalf of the community, posts important action alerts, and is most famous for his "outing" of anti-gay politicians. Some have called him "the most feared man on Capital Hill" and for good reason! Mike has been exposing anti-gay hypocrites like Larry Craig, Mark Foley and others. If there is one site to bookmark, this is definitely it.
