Comments on: Open Letter to Log Cabin Republicans http://www.lgbtforobama.com/592 Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people getting out the vote for Obama Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:32:38 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Michael Crawford http://www.lgbtforobama.com/592/comment-page-1#comment-137 Michael Crawford Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:40:59 +0000 http://www.lgbtforobama.com/?p=592#comment-137 In no way is the playing field between Democrats and Republicans remotely equal on the LGBT issues. Time and again the GOP has fought tooth and nail to deny LGBT people equal treatment under the law. Even worse, they have used LGBT families as political scapegoats in their thirst for political power. You are also clearly delusional if you think that LGBT supporters of Hillary Clinton are some how going to be hoodwinked into supporting LCR and the Republican Party. We do need to be working in both parties to advance LGBT issues. I see LGBT Democrats pushing the party's leadership while LCR continues to make excuses for people like McCain who has opposed us on virtually every issue.

We do need to be working in both parties to advance LGBT issues. I see LGBT Democrats pushing the party’s leadership while LCR continues to make excuses for people like McCain who has opposed us on virtually every issue.

It the same as always: talk with inspirational speeches, full of music, love, and affection - then sit on their dead bottoms and do nothing. As far as I'm concerned, the political playing field is even. Elections from 1996 on have never been about gay rights ever since gay Democrats did not hold Bill Clinton accountable for DADT and DOMA. LCR welcomes LGBT Hillary voters into our fold.
