A fiercely independent conservative, in 1989 he wrote the first national cover story in favor of marriage equality, and then an essay, “The Politics of Homosexuality,” in \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e in 1993, an article called the most consequential of the decade in the gay rights movement. A pioneer of online journalism, he started blogging in 2000 and helped define the new medium with his blog, \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Dish\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2007, he was one of the first political writers to champion the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, and his cover story for \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, “Why Obama Matters,” was seen as a milestone in that campaign’s messaging.
