According to Vice President Joe Biden, transgender issues are "the civil rights issue of our time."

There is a reason Trans United For Obama exists. The Obama administration has been a pro-trans issue administration.

This is in stark contrast to when Mitt Romney was the governor of Massachusetts when he was notably transphobic and biphobic, as well as not being pro-LGBT regarding school bullying and marriage equality.

When I voted early last week, I voted pro-LGBT...pro-transgender. I refuse to vote against my own self interest in the manner that GOProud and the Log Cabin Republicans recommend LGBT people do.
