Arizona Sen. John McCain, whose threatened filibuster helped derail a Congressional repeal of the anti-gay law that bans open GLBTs from military service, not only faces criticism in the press for his stance; hes also at odds on the home front over the issue.
Both McCains wife, Cindy, and his daughter, Meghan, have come out as strong supporters of efforts to repeal "Dont Ask, Dont Tell." Cindy McCain is featured in a video about GLBT youth suicide, speaking to the way in which "political and religious leaders" foster anti-gay oppression, "telling[ing] LGBT youth that they have no future." Adds McCain, "They cant serve our country openly."
