The Mayor probably figures "no big loss." ______________________ New Orleans Mayor's Gay Panel Quits Thu Nov 6, 3:12 PM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! By BRETT MARTEL, Associated Press Writer NEW ORLEANS - All seven members of Mayor Ray Nagin's advisory committee on gay issues resigned Thursday after the mayor endorsed conservative Republican Bobby Jindal for governor. The Advisory Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues called Monday's endorsement "unconscionable and incomprehensible." "Mr. Jindal has ignored numerous requests over the last three months to meet with representatives of our community to discuss issues, including economic development and civil rights," the panel's chairman, Randal M. Beach, said in a letter. The committee, appointed by the mayor, advises the mayor on how proposed city and state legislation would affect gays. story.news.yahoo.com
