In a surprise move, US Republican Presidential candidate John McCain has announced that Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska will be his running mate.Interestingly, Palin - a former beauty pageant queen and mother of five - has a mixed record of views on LGBT issues. In line with her strong social conservative views including her support of gun rights and her anti-abortion stance, Palin opposes same-sex marriage. On the other hand, however, she has often sympathised with the concerns of gay community about discrimination and has implemented legislation ensuring equal benefits for same-sex couples.
Gay bloggers, many of them Democrats and fans of Barack Obama, have already voiced doubts about the "beauty-queen soccer-mom". Other than comparing her to Karen from hit TV show Will & Grace, they are calling the running-mate choice "a cynical attempt to steal women voters who wanted Hillary".
What do you make of Palin? Do you think she can change McCain's stance when it comes to LGBT issues?
