| AMERICAblog focuses on gay rights issues among the various political topics it covers. It received a great deal of attention after breaking the story that ex-WH press corps member Jeff Gannon was really James Guckert who had previously advertised himself as a gay prostitute. The blog has drawn fire and controversy from the gay community for its efforts to "out" gay GOP members and staff who work against gay-rights measures, specifically for marriage amendments. The blog has also been host to campaigns to pressure Microsoft to renew support for a WA gay rights bill it stopped backing and for Ford Motor Co. to restore car ads that it pulled from gay media outlets. | ||
