GLUD leaders "cheer" McConkie's departure

SALT LAKE CITY - When asked by The Salt Lake Tribune how he felt about the
political-action committee Gay and Lesbian Utah Democratsx being pressured by
some state Democrats to change the group's name, Democratic congressional
candidate Jim McConkie said reportedly on Feb. 12 "Three cheers."

After McConkie's announcement today that he's dropping out of the campaign
for the Democratic nomination for the state's 2nd Congressional District,
GLUDx leaders were supportive.

"Three cheers," GLUD Founder David Nelson said.

GLUD is the state's largest and most powerful political-action committee that
serves as a campaign resource, legislative lobby and political-party caucus
for bisexual, gay and lesbian people, and their families and friends. For
