The LGBT community is the only community that's ever had its fundamental rights put to a vote. To date, twenty-six states have enacted constitutional amendments defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
On Tuesday, November 4, LGBT citizens will again face the possibility of having their civil rights taken away in California, Florida, Arizona, and Arkansas.
At the same time, a contentious Presidential election is prompting anti-gay forces to try and divide Americans along racial, class and sexual identity lines with "wedge" issues - like marriage equality and adoption rights of gays and lesbians.
