No, Eva, it suggests to me that you're gullible enough to believe
any foolish comment from "one" anonymous person, and then to assume that it
tells something about the decision the dozens of people at this screening made.
I've been going to Stonewall screenings for over 10 years now, and
I have NEVER seen Stonewall screeners endorse a candidate who did not
actually attend the screening and answer questions from the group (or send
a representative with answers if the candidate was unable to attend). And
this Stonewall screening did exactly the same thing; candidates who were
not at the screening to answer questions were not endorsed or even found
acceptable, including some GLBT-friendly candidates Stonewall has endorsed
in past elections.
