A recent poster says that as a gay man, he has a hard time supporting Obama because as this person says Obama still spouts that Marriage is between a man and a woman line. Well, this line comes from the same line in the Bible that says that marriage is not between a man and a child, a woman and her daughter, a son and his mother. Gays have full rights as citizens, but what they do not have rights that pedophiles would desire and that is to elevate their fringe behavior into law. In some cultures, they believe that a man can have sex with his virgin daughter and sell her to the highest bidder. To stop this practice, government would have to legislate the bed room, which our government does when it also says that a loving father can not have sex or marry his daughter.

To Ken who wants Obama to support UAFA and make illegal immigration a gay issue, i say he is typical, by wanting to elevate an illegal act into a gay position. I wonder if he would support an amendment to exclude gays from going to prison for theft, murder, and other lawless acts on the basis of some mind-altered belief in some right to freely pursue a lawless lifestyle.

[...] I wanted to bump up this post by Vic Basile because with less than 50 days before election day Vic’s message is even more important than ever. This video from the Human Rights Campaign also underscores Vic’s message and makes clear what is at stake this election for LGBT voters. [...]

It’s really great that you’ve put this website together, I think that Sen. Obama has one of the most best positions on the rights of LGBT American’s that I’ve seen in someone seeking national office. I believe that he will do the right things for us.
I hope you will make one small correction to your site, though. Sen. Obama does not currently support the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA). He has said he would be supportive of a modified version of it, but he has steadfastly refused to be a co-sponsor of the current UAFA, unlike at least 10 other Senators (and over 100 Representatives) at this point.
For those of us separated from our partners, this is a sore point, as you can imagine — to have a Democratic candidate supportive of every other single piece of legislation under consideration but not the one impacting us. There are 30,000 gay and lesbian citizens in the position of having the US government send their loved ones from the US. So you can imagine that it’s very important to us that the LGBT community itself accurately portray Sen. Obama’s position on this.
I hope that you will change the wording for your description of his position so it is more accurate, something like “would be supportive of a revised UAFA,” or “generally supports immigration rights for same-sex partners.” It would also be great if you had a post specifically on this issue, at some point, on this site. But it’s just flat out wrong to say he supports UAFA. If he does, he should co-sponsor.

Again with Political reality taken into consideration, the only person to vote for is Obama. I am not even comparing him to McCain, or any other person in the running. But one statement does set the tone for me and I would bet a number of those who are having a hard time committing to him, not that he is great for everything else, but that he publicly states that he doesn’t believe in our right to marry. I don’t think, or want to think, that he personally believes that, but that he politically feels he has to say that, and to me that just makes it about voting for a politician instead of a human. And I think if that was going to be the case all along, I wish he hadn’t gotten my hopes up. That’s it, and I am sorry if my question caused strife on the site, it was not my intention, Obama is the best politician for the job.

Seperate but equal is NOT equal! I’m sorry, but Obama doesn’t want recognition for same-sex marriage. If he’s so for “civil unions” why not call it marriage? That’s what it’s supposed to be, right? I am tired of people touting Obama as LGBT friendly, when he won’t even stand up for EQUALITY despite all he’s been through. People thinking he is Muslim, the color of his skin, having a mixed family. According to US law when Obama was born, he shouldn’t have been! Mixed marriage was illegal for such a long time, and not that long ago! Come on, people! Think for yourselves and stand up for your rights!! Let’s do this, and while we’re at it, support a candidate that actually believes in FULL equality!

I still say this election is about who hates us the least. In Canada, PM Jean Cretien stood up and defended full marriage rights, even though, at the time, most Canadians did not agree with him. 4 years later, when Canadians were polled, the majority agreed with full marriage rights. Jean Cretien was a real part of that.

This leadership is what made it happen, Obama is not leading, he is simpley the better of two evils. In the last 8 years, we have over-turn homosexuality as a crime in 2003 and 2 states have full marriage rights. This was all done during the rule of GW Bush and his anti-Gay Republicans.

It really doesn’t make a difference who is elected in November 08, unless one of them stands up for full equality. We will continue winning it, slowly, without support from the White House, just like we did for the last century. When America finally joins the rest of the civilzed world on full equality, it is be last and it will be because of the day to day battles. It will have nothing to do with who is elected to the White House.

Randy,

Sen. Obama is with on every issue with the exception of marriage. In terms of legal recognition for same-sex relationships, he supports civil unions that include the federal benefits currently associated with marriage. That makes him the most supportive presidential nominee of any major party in history.

And, when you compare Sen. Obama’s platform on LGBT issues and his record, you will see that he is light years ahead of Sen. McCain who has opposed pro-LGBT legislation at every turn.
