Teresa Heinz-Kerry panders to the gay/lesbian/trans-gender community:

In her remarks before the gay caucus, held at the Sheraton Boston Hotel, Heinz Kerry appeared to mix policy issues with motherly love, drawing repeated shouts of appreciation from both lesbians and gay male delegates.
She told of how she was moved at a campaign appearance a few months ago in Washington state, when a man told her in a question and answer session that his relationship with his mother was strained and told her, “I want you to be my mother.”
“It was clear that he had not made that peace with his mother and he wanted someone who loved him,” Heinz Kerry said. “And so, at least, if nothing else, you’ll have a mom in the White House,” she told the crowd.
Added Heinz Kerry, “You can call me Mama T.”
That remark prompted the gay delegates to jump to their feet while chanting, “Mama T!”

Um, OK Mama T. Better than "Sugar Mama T" which is what John Kerry should call her.
