Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the 13 presidential candidates’ plans for America’s 31 million LGBTs.

Oh, Romney. I remember when you supported gay marriage.

I’m waiting for Obama to announce his support of gay marriage. I steadfastly believe he supports it but doesn’t want to say it due to the current political climate.

And at that same assembly he rescinded his backing for Palestinian statehood. Don’t be so quick to congratulate this disappointment of a president. Should queers be allowed to marry? Hell the fuck yes! Should the U.S. stop backing an army that is systematically wiping out an occupied nation of displaced and marginalized people? Again, I say, hell the fuck yes. It is merely my opinion, that the latter should take presedence over the former.

right on.. he is owed another term to try to make change. no human being can reasonably be expected to undo eight years of douching around. he isn’t excused for his downfalls, but we do need to remember that he has to “play the game” in order to move forward and get re-elected.

“And no country can realize its potential if half it’s population cannot reach theirs… ”

Sorry, minor detail, but there’s no apostrophe there. It’s not “it is.” It’s possessive.

Speaking as just an outsider looking in (after attending university in Florida for 5 of George W Bush’s 8 year regime), I think he’s done a crap ton more than others have in the past. Yeah I wish he’d pull the decision of allowing gay marriage from the states and make it a federal law, thus solving the tax and immigration issues, but damn, any step forward is a good step, regardless of the size. Any kind of political action and law-reversal/passage takes time and if you’ve got the GOP systematically obstructing and protesting against everything he does, as Riese pointed out in this post, it will take even longer. It’s kinda hard to undo eight years of clusterf**ks in four years time, so kudos to him for even achieving what he has so far. Another four years, who knows what he could accomplish.
