And that's your reason for voting for him?

Why wasn't he talking and doing something for the LGBT communities four years ago? three years ago? Like everything else to get a vote he is TALKING. Don't count on him to do anything other than give you lip service.

It's no different when he was campaigning and TALKED about the 7 million jobs he was going to create. Where are those jobs? Once he got the vote he stopped talking about those jobs. Once he get's the vote he's going to stop talking about alot of things that he is talking about (now to get the vote). You may get his "support" but you are also going to experience everything else that he is doing to dismantle America.

I have a close friend who is a successful, black gay man and he can't stand Obama based on his performance and his agenda - didn't vote for him and obviously won't be voting for him. He also doesn't have anything favorable to say about Romney.

You need to wake up if that's your reason to vote for a President.

Um, you should vote on your needs.

I am a free man. What's good for me is good for my nation.

Can you not think for yourself? Other folks have to tell you what's good for you and the nation.

Or can you make up your own mind. Some people justify voting against their own interest by saying "its good for the nation ". I fought for the nation, I vote for me.

I absolutely will not vote for this socialist.

He does not care about you or the LGBT Community but lies to your face so you'll vote for him.

You should understand when he says he cares, he doesn't.
I'm not voting Obama either. But that doesn't mean you have to vote for Romney. Other candidates will be on the ballot, or you can likely write in a name of someone you want.

Nice to know the majority of LGBT people aren't single issue voters!



Screw the economy, let's make sure we can have same sex marriage, right??

And this from me, a LGBT supporter.

Good lord.

Obama is counting on third party candidates to drain votes away from Romney. Voting for any third party candidates is helping to hand the election to Obama. It's either Romney or Obama. No other candidate has a chance. Face that reality.

Tell that to your fellow Paul supporters, they consider Romney to be no different than Obama, they are wrong, Mitt would be even worse

Screw the economy? What would Mittens do for the economy, lower taxes for the rich, remove banking regulations, remove environmental reglations? Sorry, been there, done that, did not help anyone except the rich. Only a fool wants to repeat the same mistakes of the past and expect different results
