President Obama and the Fight for LGBT Rights

As a proud liberal, there are many reasons why I support the re-election of President Obama, but this video shows why I—in particular—support President Obama. There has never been a “perfect” president on GLBT issues, but President Obama has been better than all the previous presidents—and I’ve seen a few.

So, my choices are President Obama, or the Republican who wants to forever outlaw marriage equality in ALL US states, including those where it’s legal right now. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the presumptive Republican nominee also wants to outlaw even civil unions—he’s just typical extremist Republican, really.

No, President Obama is the only candidate I could possibly even consider voting for. While I never say “never”, it’s clear that Republicans have a LOT of growing up to do before I could ever consider one of them. Put another way, I don’t expect to live long enough to consider a Republican candidate: I defy them to prove me wrong on that (P.S. they can’t).

Watch the video, then prove to me the Republican would be better on these issues. Go ahead, I double-dog dare you.
