Reply #11: Honestly, I don't know where Obama's head is totally at regarding LGBT but the stone cold fact

[Zorra]

is that DADT is now dead and buried and I right now am dancing on its stinking grave.

I'd much rather hear "We must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere" from my President than "Homosexuality is a sin and should a criminal offense", which is what Perry, Bachmann, or basically the rest of the GOP bigots would say or would like to say.

As an LGBT person, I know that President Obama is not going to advocate for me to be arrested because of who I am.

Anyone that has read many of my posts knows that I have been a strong critic of the President. And yeah, it seems Obama has a ways to go in his comprehension of marriage equality.

But he's not going to take away my rights. He has, in fact, increased them to some degree.

No republican is ever going to do anything like this for me and my LGBT community, and the human race in general as well. Republicans will gleefully take away our rights if they can pull it off.

So, while I get what you're saying, NL, when it comes down to me not voting for Obama in the General Election, or choosing to vote for Obama over any republican in the General Election. it's a no brainer.

I'm voting for Obama. I may have to hold my nose due to many issues that I have been extremely upset with the President about, but slight progress is so much more preferable than rapid devastating social/economic/political regression under a republican.
