6. I'm LGBT, and I plan to vote for the President.

And while it is very true that I have nowhere else to go on this issue, there's a whole lot of other issues that I have nowhere else to go on.

But I cannot allow a shallow, ignorant, bigoted 1% republican to take the WH.

I wish that the President would just take the high road and advocate for human rights.

If he does not take this position before the election, I hope that he is elected, and then rapidly "evolves" to the point where he openly and very forcefully makes every attempt to allow everyone to have the equal human rights that they deserve.

If Obama is elected, and does not rapidly "evolve" and openly and very forcefully makes every attempt with in his power to make sure that every citizen has the equal human rights that they deserve, that may destroy the Democratic party, as many, and not only the LGBT community, will lose all faith in the party to act in their most profound interests.

And these interests are my interests, and these interests are deserved recognition as a fully equal human being, someone that I am not recognized as at this time.
