Sorry for standing up for my rights, and not accepting any political party, president
or leader as essentially more important than full civil rights for my people.

oh wait. No, I am NOT sorry.

I have mixed emotions about the man, No trust,but hope he will do the right thing. I have many doubts that he will.

4. i like obama on many different issues but find him lacklustre on gay rights
Edited on Fri Jul-31-09 03:21 PM by La Lioness Priyanka
this does not make me a bitter person. it makes me aware. also, this statement can be generalized to most in the democratic party. not just obama

12. i don't care for his war escalation or his faith-based crap OR
his ideas for education. he is too right wing on many issues for me.

oh yeah, and torture continues under him.

5. Never tie your cause to a single party, even if that party has come through for you.
Which the Dems definitely have not so far for GLBT.

16. Who was it that said...
or maybe implied...that to tie your group to one political party completely eliminates your bargaining power? Why should they do anything for you if even if they do nothing you're still going to vote for them to keep the "other guy" out?

Q3JR4.
Eh.

17. Not Too Many People WOULD Consider Their Own Rights Secondary To the Government
The Obamabots here who consider OUR rights secondary are all hypocritical straighties who've never known a day of oppression, and couldn't care less about the oppression of others. They've got theirs, so why are WE whining?

18. Well I've never found a candidate or an official who
agreed with me 100% and that includes the crowd in power now, but I know what issues are important to me, and I know how I wished my world functioned, so I'm able to support when I want and oppose when I need to.
