there is alot more at stake then gay rights. I am all for equality, but I dont see any bills being made from either side about gay rights. Its a topic that is still to controversial for America. You need to do your own homework and look at the candidates and make a decision for yourself. I for one cant stand any single one of them running right now. I for one would have voted for Hillary Clinton if she was nominated, but never happened. We need someone who is for the people not the powerful like corporations.

Lol if Ron Paul isn't nominated by the republican party...chances are he won't be an option to vote for in the election. Currently Mitt Romney is miles ahead of the other reps with 74 delegates to newt's 24 and Ron Paul's 3 its looking very likely it will be Obama v Romney 2012 bar some major turn around in the republican nomination race. Romney has publicly denounced same-sex marriage though so im not sure if that would turn you off him Rus?

We all MUST vote. If you're disappointed with your choices then vote for the lesser of two evils. If you don't you will get the greater of two evils - i.e. Republicans who will implement reactionary, homophobic policies to appease their religionist constituencies and we all will suffer for it. So VOTE god damn it with the knowledge that you have just cancelled out one of theirs. By not voting, you have in fact voted for one of them by default.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that truly supports liberty. He isnt "pro-gay" per se... but he constantly speaks about how the government should be out of people's civil liberties, which includes gay marriage.. Barack ended DADT, but Ron Paul also voted to end it.

Hay Rus. I am an Independent. I vote for the person and not the party, because all of the prates are corrupt. Also I don't agree with not voting. If you don't vote you have no rite to complain. Unfortunetly to me right now there isn't any one that is a good candidate in my opinion. I think they are all corrupt. So I think you have to vote for the lesser of all the corrupt "evil" candidates. (and good luck with that) lol

I would say for you to check the facts of each candidate by visiting their web sites and see what political platform they have. Yes it is true that most Republicans are against the LGBT community and have the power of the religious right (or wrong in my opinion) behind them. If you want to know the truth about why Obama is having a hard time look at the facts. George W. left the white house and the country in the worst condition of any president. President Clinton left a good white house and economy to Bush and Bush messed it all up. Watch Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore for a very insitefull view of Bush. So, Obama is having to spend almost his entire first 4 years cleaning up the mess that Bush left him, so is it fair to vote him out of office and put a Republican with the same views back in office. I personally don't think so. I say give Obama another 4 years. After all he did what Bush couldn't (actually Bush ignored it) do and that is get Osama. Bush had the chance to send all our troops to get Osama and instead got Suddam because Suddam man Bush Sr. look like an idiot. So the choice is yours, look at the facts, pic the one that most represents you.

RUSlan if every question would be to answer: decide for Barack (he changes that soldier are allowed showing their homosexuality OPEN...) a man with real Charisma or for the repuBlican with much money who mostly interested to get the power without clear messages WHY he should become the p.

Rus, once the Photos section is working again, I'll add a photo (more like a sign) I saw today on Facebook. I think the message is right on target: SAY NO TO ANTIGAY POLITICIANS...BECAUSE BULLYING DOES NOT END IN THE SCHOOLYARD!

Important to note also that the reason Obama struggled to make any definative change was because after only a year of his presidency he was pretty much made a lame duck by losing the house to the republicans; which meant he couldn't make any major changes in healthcare, jobs or the economy which are key issues. If american's really want positive change they need a democrat dominated house elected next congress and senate elections, to support the president if he is re-elected, otherwise he'll just be resented again and unable to do anything. Thats why a moderate rep like Romney seems an interesting alternative as instead of being isolated, he could actually get bills passed and actually make an impact.... A positive of the american system btw is at least you have some degree of choice in your presidential candidates......the current 3 main british candidates for prime minister look like clones of each other....only point of difference being the colour of their ties :/
