Rep. Dick Gephardt, whose lesbian daughter came out earlier this year, on Monday named longtime gay Democratic activist David Mixner as cochair of his presidential campaign. "I am honored and proud to have David's support and friendship and know that his political and fund-raising skills will be invaluable to our efforts," Gephardt said in a statement. "Together, we're going to fight for an America where our economy is strong and our families are secure. We're going to build a country where no American is left out or left behind."
