2012

i know a lot of people don’t think obama achieved much in his term, but i would much rather have someone who can speak publicly about this kind of stuff than not. really cool.

plus, the republican candidates are a bunch of bafoons. and i’m not just saying that. they literally are crazy.

It angers me that a lot of people in this community decided to vote for the Republican party during the midterm elections in order to “get back” at President Obama because he hadn’t passed gay marriage federally. 

Here’s a fact sheet about what President Obama’s done.

Here’s the “It Gets Better” video page that includes multiple videos from his administration.

Here’s the LGBT page for the White House that includes a blog about LGBT issues, links to the Trevor Project and It Gets Better, information about what President Obama is doing to support AIDS/HIV research and prevention and even a video of Dr. Jill Biden speaking at a PFLAG event.

Don’t try to tell me that my President doesn’t care about our community. Representative Nancy Pelosi who was one of the highest women and LGBT allies in his administration lost her position during the midterm elections because people decided to punish President Obama. By doing that you’ve proceeded to put the exact people in charge who don’t want to give the LGBT community in charge. And what have they done? Blocked and prevented President Obama from doing other things in this country. As a matter of fact every single Republican candidate right now that’s running for President has said that they will repeal DADT as soon as they get into office. 

I’m voting for President Obama again in November because I believe in creating progress and equality for our community. 

Hopefully you’ll do the same.
