The forum, at 9 p.m. ET in Los Angeles, California, is co-sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign, the country's leading organization advocating equal rights for gays, lesbians, and the transgender community.
Also sponsoring the event is LOGO, a gay and lesbian television network that is part of MTV Networks which will televise the debate.
While just three percent of 2006 voters identified themselves as gay or lesbian, the community is largely Democratic and politically active.
All Democratic candidates will be there except Sen. Joseph Biden and Sen. Chris Dodd who say they have scheduling conflicts.
No Republican candidates agreed to participate.
Serving as a panelist, Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese, said the debate reflects the comfort level many Americans have now regarding gay issues and gay lifestyles.
"Candidates are talking about our issues [such as] overturning the ban on gays and lesbians in the military," he said.

Will Hillary finally come out of the closet?
Will Hussein Obama talk about his “experience” in teh Harvard dorm shower in the wee hours of that morning back in 1986?
Will Chris Dodd talk about when his buddies rubbed against Ted Kenedy’s coin purse during that waitress sandwich back in 1975?
(I think I just threw up in my own mouth after that last one...I apologize)
Right! Just how many of these carpet munchers and butt pirates would vote for a Repub anyway, at least a real Repub and not a RINO?

Just wait until the Democratic Paty Platform of 2008. I'm quite sure that it will be in it.
This is the leadership you want from your next President?
Liberal progressives pandering once again! Looks like they would not have a problem stepping over thier dead grandmother to promise you the world for a vote! dispicable humans
Vote the big picture! If we don’t vote on the important issues that threaten America, all the smaller ones won’t matter!
