David Card moved to Washington, DC from New York in 2001 with his now-husband. He was involved in progressive politics, first working for Americans for Democratic Action, which counted Eleanor Roosevelt amongst its founding members. Later, he volunteered with and then worked for the Stonewall Democrats, and the John Kerry campaign. One of the people he worked with at Stonewall Democrats was Chrissy Gephardt, who is the daughter of Dick Gephardt, and who had come out as lesbian in 2001. Discussion also covered: the Democratic National Committee, DADT, Queer as Folk, Barney Frank, Stonewall Sports, Casa Ruby, MOVA, the 1968 riots, the National Disability Rights Network, the National LGBT Task Force, and the Human Rights Campaign.
