Obama, or any candidate for that matter is never going to publicly endorse gay marraige if they have any hopes of getting into office. Obama has said he will support civil unions, that’s a good start. If we can get civil unions, then we can use the court system to debate separte but equal to get full-fledged marraige. If we try to force ourselves on middle america, they will react against us, so we need to take small steps that will get us there without causeing knee-jerk reactions from the voters.

Our rights should never be left to the voter, but at this time, that is what we are dealing with. Until we can get Democrats into power, we don’t have any chance of making progress.

Watch…what you want to bet McCain is going to leave this issue for Palin to disucss. The holly-rollers will love it coming from her.

I hope that my fellow Californians will vote against the amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. It’s time for equality and doing what is right.

R-I-I-I-G-H-T, Trace. We believe yet more unfounded fear-mongering. W. got us so used to it, we’re just gonna ‘believe’ from now on.

It is McCain who is on record supporting anti-gay legislaton and encouraging States to do likewise.

Get a clue. You. Are. Not. Believed.

Wake Up Sheeple. Obama’s gonna pat you on the back as he takes your hard fought rights away.

Granted I am also pissed that Obama chose to have Prof Cammack campaign for him. However that is not a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Much more important than this – probably one of the most important issues this election cycle for LGBT people – is who the eventual winner will pick for the US Supreme Court.

There are 7 appointees named by Republican Presidents to the Court. Only 3 are reliable votes on issues of LGBT equality: Stevens, Souter and Kennedy. Scalia and Thomas will never vote for us, and Chief Justice Roberts and Alito, based on their conservative records to date, will also likely vote against us.

Both appointees named by Bill Clinton, Ginsberg and Breyer have and will always vote with us. That’s 100% for the Democratic appointees and what, less than 50% for the Rebublican appointeres.

We all know that the same gender marriage issue will eventually end up before the US Supreme Court. So I cannot sit out this election, and in essence give one more vote to McCain because Obama has done a few things that we do not completely agree upon.

I want Supreme Court appointees with judicial temprements similar to the Clinton appointees. On this alone, I am voting for Obama. I will not throw the dice and gamble that McCain will not choose appointees like Scalia or Roberts.

And, repealing DOMA, DADT, and enacting ENDA, and hate crimes legistation, may not be everything, but it is light years ahead of where we are now…especially for our LGBT brothers and sisters living in red cities and red states.

Why isn’t 365Gay.com talking about McCain’s “closeted-until-today” (9-22-08) Chief of Staff,MARK BUSE!!!!!!!!!, Recipent of the “Roy Cohen Hypocrit” Award!!! Yes, Gay Folks, Yet Another Log Cabin Republican Closet Case! HOLY COW!

Also, to the democrats that are scared of a “partially black candidate”, wake up!!!!…Our you going to let your fright vote republican, because he is an old white man?. I’ve experienced democrats saying that they will never live in a country run by a black president, and to put it gently that is true rascism and very closed minded. I will support my democratic party no matter what, and to me, although there hasn’t been much on gay issues, at least my candidate was open-minded enough to sit with a gay audience and listen to what they’ve had to say. period, I am done.
