Reply #95: Yes I have

It might surprise you to know that --but I have indeed.

Just as I have read extensively ALL that I can possibly read that is available on his website.

He has a nice record on LGBT issues as a State Senator, and at an early point in the campaign I was thinking of supporting him.
His policy platform going into the election is nearly identical to Clinton's, though I don't believe he has any 'core' belief system that
motivates his desire to help the LGBT community. This can be observed in the manner that he speaks about the issues.

I don't think he has as deep an understanding of LGBT issues as Hillary, and I don't find that he has as strong a motivation to help.

The McClurkin episode isn't the cause of my not trusting Obama on LGBT -- it is one of many things, that when added together make me trust him less than Hillary.

His buying ads means nothing to me. The words in his ads mean nothing to me.

I already have Dignity and Respect. I want rights.

I don't want a President to talk to homophobes and tell them to embrace me. Their embrace is something I do not even care about.
In fact -- I'm quite annoyed at Obama whenever he speaks 'about LGBT", because I have yet to hear him speak TO us.

I've heard Hillary speak TO us. Obama speaks about us.

That's the difference in a nutshell.
