Heath welcomes Randall Terrell, political director at Equality Texas.

Election Day is on Tuesday. By all accounts, it's going to be a nail biter. As the gap closes between presidential contenders McCain and Obama, just about all we've been hearing about is the historic nature of this presidential campaign. But, for the real drama and the possibility of meaningful change in the lives of LGBT Texans, we need look no further than the boundaries of our own state.


Our guest is Randall Terrell; he's the Political Director, (read lobbyist), for Equality Texas, our state's only organization fighting for our rights at the Texas Legislature. Randall talks about the important races in Central Texas, their effect on the race for Speaker of the Texas House, and why that matters to our daily lives.
