So that it's out of the way. I supported Barrack Obama. I nagged all my friends and family to vote for him. I harassed strangers on the street to go vote and to vote for Barrack. I spit out a lung for the good senator from Illinois right up until 8 pm est. on 11-04-08. And when the results came in that night I was happy. But with that caveat comes another. Never did I say that he'd be better on G.L.B.T rights than McCain. There are a lot of reasons why Barrack is better than John but never did I say anything about gay rights. Not because I thought that if I said anything about gay rights that it would scare people from voting for him. Far from it! It's that when it comes to gay rights I don't think that democrats really care that much. We all (sans the log cabin republicans) why we don't vote republican. "They hate us. They're on the side of the religious right." Bla bla bla ... But when it come to mine and my communities civil rites I could never find it within myself to completely trust the Democratic party.
