Rep.
Kathy Webb, a Victory-endorsed candidate in 2006, has been instrumental
in stopping a bill that would have banned adoption by gay couples in
Arkansas. Webb, the state's first openly gay elected official, lobbied
her colleagues on the State House Judicicary Committee to kill the
measure, and many groups involved in the fight say her mere presence on
the committee and in the House went a long way to stopping the vicously
anti-gay measure.
