I get your point. It is like someone being personally opposed to abortion but supporting choice.

Unfortunately when anyone is in public office he or she isn’t just voicing a personal opinion (unless specifically stated). It is a POLITICAL opinion, which carries the weight of that public office and the responsibility for acting in the common good.

And that goes double for the head of government.

Obama’s comment? So, he does not favour my lifestyle. I don’t need governmental permission to fu*£ who I want to fu*£.
To love who I want to love.

Simply a watered-down version of the ‘Gods Hates Fags’ brigade as I see it.

Don’t they know that queers bash back?

Up the QUEERS!

No, that’s not the issue. Purism would be not voting for Obama because I’m a vegan and he eats animals–the animal rights movement is too young for me to have such high expectations of presidential candidates–your question, “Who is this serving?” would apply here.

But in this day and age, it’s not “radical” to believe that marriage should be about love, not religion & politics. It’s not “radical” to believe in the separation of church and state (for God’s sake the First Amendment came into effect in 1791!!). It’s not “radical” to want and end to the homophobia that has metastasized throughout our society*, of which Prop 8 is a deceptively benign-looking symptom. Hell, Bill Clinton even acknowledges that Prop 8 “unfair and wrong”–is he a radical?

*Matthew Shepard in ’98, Lawrence King in ’08… What will 2018 look like? If we approach homophobia with the centrist cowardice that you see in this interview segment, the only “change” will be in the name of the victim.

But maybe Rahm will come to our aid? You never know:

Rahmbo The Killer
11-16-8

“Let me tell you right now, no exaggeration. Rahm Emanuel is the devil. He is . . . a Goebbels, a Mengele, a perfect Cromwell who would, without the faintest evidence of hesitation washing across his face for even a millisecond, order and even personally execute each and every human being he or Obama perceived to be an enemy of the regime. And if you ever personally offended him, and he had the opportunity to kill you, he would probably do it by starting with your children as you were made to watch. He is a bad guy.”

America is an Obamanation, oops, Obama nation .

“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars;
the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.” H.L. Mencken

Hillary was the one who you knew you could have counted on. Hillary has always been the one to care about lgbt rights.

NOT OBAMA! I cannot believe that there was even one gay who voted for Obama over Hillary. Just so….stupid! grrrrrrrrrrrrr

*hisssss*

That’s the sound of the air being let out of your argument.

; )

Please. Any gay person who voted for Obama and not Clinton deserves the second-class citizen stigma Obama dishes out. As for the rest, straight or gay, we want what’s right for gays.

And yes, a federalist perspective/McCain is better than a religious-based ban/Obama. At least then we can all live in a state or two where bigots aren’t in charge.

Obama won. I’m glad.

Get over it.

Also, that whole “drinking the Kool-Aid” bit was tired by the early part of this year. And blatant lying isn’t a good look on you, either. If you bothered to look up Obama’s church website, you’d have known that they offered a service inclusive of same gender loving singles, along with their other ministries for single members. Obama has also been quoted plenty of times for his comment about homophobia in a black church.

All this is futile, though, since he is no longer campaigning for our votes. He got them + I’m still glad he did, considering the alternative of a McPalin administration. Ugh.

Vote for folks who don’t dodge gays ‘in order to be elected’ or for some darker reason, as Obama did. Saying the word ‘gay’ once in a speech is NOTHING. What does that get you? By the way, that’s old news Clinton bet his whole election campaign by being there with us and then his presidency in fighting for us as one of the first things he did. And then, there was no active movement to dehumanize gays as there is now and which Obama will silently, maybe even happily, see pass.

There were too many red flags regarding Obama’s ambivalent, even hostile, position toward gays to ignore——

Obama defended his ‘traditional black church’–which would include the well known black religious tradition of the most extreme faith based homophobia. Beyond that he defended his vitriolic, bigoted preacher Wright– before he denounced Wright once his sharp tongue was directed at Obama rather than others deserving of traditional ‘black christian’ hate.

Obama did one profelactic interview with the Advocate when nobody was looking and when he was looking for votes in the couch cushions. Then he never spoke to gay press, volunteered an opinion on the civil rights isssue and group of modern America despite filming ads in support of affirmative action, and lied about equal access to gay press among all minorities. This despite his hope and rose colored glasses campaign and claim of constitutional law scholarship.

Yet, gay Obamanuts backed him. Even rejecting Clinton—a known fighter for gays who openly met with and included gays in her campaign.

Koolaid doesn’t come in rainbow color. So why were you all lapping this guy up??? Thanks a lot.

He’s, by default, more pro-gay than grampa.

And, btw, don’t ever suggest that I go to the back of the bus. Or that I get on a bus at all, for that matter. Hmmph.

Why couldn’t the Barrack Obama people do the same, with all their vast financial resources and armies of volunteers ? ?

It was a dumb idea in the first place.

What business is Caesar doing in God’s sacraments?

Replace government marriage with something else.

The fight wont stop until homosexuals have the same rights as heterosexuals, I can promise you that.

We voted for Animal rights and won. Yet we voted for Gay rights and lost.

As I said a very bitter sweet day for many gay Americans. Colin Powell said of Mr. Obama, he is a good man a great man that happens to be black. I to am a good man and possibly a great man who happens to be gay.

crazylove, while I agree with your sentiment, you rob your points’ potency with a hackneyed argument. You should speak in a language that can be understood by what should be your intended audience. Activists can understand your gibberish but others? I’m not so sure. And that’s who you needed to convince and need to convince in the future. Please step back and remove yourself from your narrow life’s immersion and learn to speak to those outside your agenda.

He’ll get in, make some positive changes + I’ll look back on it + be glad I voted for him.

The End.

The gutting of ENDA by a ‘liberal’ named Barney Frank is even more recent, and so is their contemptible decision to empower thugs by refusing to press the hate crimes bill while hate crimes against us are soaring. (Google the FBI hate crimes story of a few weeks ago.)

But the most recent news of all is the enduring bigotry of candidates like McCain and Obama regarding same sex marriage and the gleeful use of that by other bigots supporting attacks on same sex marriage.

Your issue regarding the age of their betrayal is a non-issue, an absurd attempt to deflect from their pattern of betrayals, in which Obama and Biden have both played ugly roles. It’s useless to try to con people with sophistry like that; too many of us are fully aware of what’s been done to us, and even more became aware during this campaign.

Don’t worry; Obama is going to win big. And then he’s going to betray us. Then everyone except a few crumb collectors are going to be very angry. And then the Left will organize them. I can’t wait.

I voted early in Nevada for ‘None of these Candidates”. That’s just one of the reasons I like Vegas.

Anyway, DADT was a compromise, which you probably already knew. Clinton was met with resistance + had to settle for DADT. That’s old news. I’m looking forward now + I’ve already ‘Baracked the Vote’ today.

Clinton gave us DADT and DOMA and we’ll just have to wait to see what nasty tricks OBama will pull.

No on Proposition 8
Yes to Barack Obama as President

PS – I really noticed a lot of old people voting at 6am but no young people in sight….

he feels a certain way about marriage, fine. that isn’t a crime. but is he going to let his feelings trump the rights of those people, hell no. vote obama.

Speak for yourself, Joe. Not all of us are “blindly” doing anything, but have researched the candidates + are weighing the pros + cons which still point to certain candidates being better for LGBT citizens than others. Not perfect, obviously, but better.

Check out the Washington Blade articles NY Diva posted.

As always, I’ll be voting for the candidate that is best for my interests as a gay man.

That is Obama/Biden.
And NO on 8.

From day one McCain and Obama have relentlessly competed to win the trophy for pandering to bigots using same sex marriage as a wedge issue. The polls say that Obama won that race. His tedious petition of his prejudices about same sex marriage is a green light to bigots to vote against us. When Obama attacked same sex marriage using the phrase “god’s in the mix” he that same sex marriage is a sin and secondly that the clueless bigotry of the christians is sanctioned from “On High”. Let’s have a big down home hallelujah for Brother Obama… the bigot.

And his supine apologists, who’ve believe anything, accept anything and defend anything he does, over and over, are getting just a little old, and more than a little pathetic.

The right wing and the christist bigots are so enthused by Obama’s bigotry that they’re running ads quoting him against us. That’s becasue Obama constantly says that same sex marriage is a sin, and that civil unions, which cements our second class status, are all that we deserve. And like George Wallace, another bigoted Democrat and enemy of civil rights, Obama is quite content to let the ‘state’s rights’ dogma, which had it origins in the slavocracy’s demand to be allowed to extend slavery, to be his guide, allowing state DOMAs to mistreat us.

With Democrats like that who needs Republicans?

Don’t get caught voting for bigots. Vote against McCain and the other Republican bigots. Vote against Obama and the other Democrat bigots. If the union led Labor Party gets on the ballot despite the roadblocks placed by the Democrat party then vote for them, or for any socialist or communist candidates or write someone in or just skip it like millions of disgusted working people do every four years.

WHATEVER YOU DO, IF YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA OR FLORIDA VOTE AGAINST THE BIGOT BALLOT ITITIATIVES.
