With little more than two weeks before election day, now is the time to pull out your little black book and contact everyone in it about Barack Obama.

This election is the most important in at least a generation and for LGBT Americans it is even more crucial. We have the chance to play deciding role in electing the most pro-LGBT president in history. And, the difference between Sen. Obama and John McCain could not be clearer.

Allowing McCain to be elected as president would four more years of the kind of anti-LGBT policies that we got from George Bush. Electing Sen. Obama has president opens up the definite chance for us to finally pass an inclusive ENDA and the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act, to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell and to finally develop a national AIDS strategy.

I am incongruously a trans republican. I have always been conservative. And while I agree with Barak on some things, other things about him scare me too much to want him as my president. I can wait another four years. And, besides, I'm not sure than Mccain is not saying what he does about LGBT to get in good with the christian right.

to get in good with the christian right.

This country was founded on the principal of separation of church and state. Any government official that embraces a specific religion and allows it to influence Government operation is not a patriot and is not upholding the laws which he promised to enforce.

Well, we are a democracy and there are an awful lot of Conservative Christians and so, that is why we swing that way in this country. But the political system was built so that, if enough people of the *alternative* nature are well represented in the gov't then things will swing that way.
