I've been impressed with Obama from the beginning. What some perceive as a lack of experience is countered, mightily, by his ability to lead and inspire. Even in our conservative desert communities there is a significant movement by staunch Republicans to elect Obama. A good sign!

We have a choice in this election between moving forward and taking a huge step backward. The only way we'll move ahead is to go to the polls. For everyone who feels disenfranchised this November is your shot at helping create "a more perfect union." One in which gays and lesbians are treated like EQUAL CITIZENS. Use your right to vote this November so we secure the rest of rights. Equal marriage, equal taxes, equal benefits, heath care for all...

After a nightmare that has lasted 30+ years, Americans have great reason to hope again. Americans support Barack Obama as the candidate who values and embraces our contributions, energy, and resources. Obama understands that the American creed is one that is inclusive, truly democratic, and one that was founded on the ideals of liberty, freedom, and possibility. Obama is an educated, thinking, and considerate leader, one that typifies the oldest tradition of representing the very best of America. I am proud to lend my voice to the campaign to elect Barack Obama for President of the United States of America.

Senator Barack Obama is without a doubt the most pro-equality presidential nominee in history. He has been strong, clear and consistent in expressing his support for LGBT civil rights. After 8 long years of anti-LGBT rhetoric coming from the White House, having Obama has our next president is crucial to helping us achieve equal treatment under the law.

We've been waiting for - and working for - this opportunity for many decades and we're not about to let it slip away now. Equality for gay men and lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders, is not just a slogan to us, it's a lifetime commitment. And Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only candidates who stand forthrightly on the side of history in pledging their support for that equality. We'll be proud to cast our votes for a return to sanity in government!

Obama is obviously the better option for the GLBT community and its overall interests. I will be voting for him and encourage others to do likewise. However, his opposition to full equality of opportunity for gay people (i.e., gay marriage equality) is such that he doesn't deserve our financial support. Voting for him as the best option is one thing, but self-respecting gay people don't give money to those who stand in the way of our equality.

I'm 35 and this will be the first time I will vote in any election! Why now? There's so much at stake. I can't sit on the sidelines in silence any longer. I have no choice but to try to do something. Obama is not perfect but the alternative is not an option. Finally, I agree with his philosophy: Change begins with me and will work its way to Washington.

What the Mccain/Palin campaign is doing at the moment---smearing Baracks reputation is disturbingly pathetic. It is antique politics once again, trying to use "fear" to scare the American people into voting for the republican ticket---much like Bush did both four and eight years ago. Just "more of the same" as Barack says.... The frightening part is that is always seems to work...and that scares me. We must find a solution to battle this tactic---We must not let Mccain and this gun-slinging creationist run this country. Finally, a man with a real vision for this country and the world is withing reach---Barack Obama is truly a world leader--I believe he can heal the wounds of Americas world reputation.

My primary interest is to not be treated as a second class citizen. Why is it so difficult for people to understand that opposing gay marriage is a violation of my Constitutional right to equal treatment? If the straight people of this country are unwilling to see that, then let then give up all the benefits, rights, privileges and immunities granted them under state and federal marriage laws..so we can all be equal again. What the hell is so special about them anyway, that they get all those goodies and we get none? Opposition to gay marriage is nothing less than "we got ours...and we ain't sharin' it with no damn queers!" The whole situation makes me sick.

I believe this is a moment in time when we have a choice to make that will change the way the world goes. There are great forces of bad in the world; fundamentalists who hate who we are. I am talking about people right here in the US, who hate gay people, and I believe the Republican ticket represents that force. I also believe that there are great forces of love and change in the world. We can save our planet, and our species: our voices as gay people have never been more greatly needed. I believe Barack Obama represents that loving force and that he is listening. Trust him. It's time!!

There are a boatload of reasons not LGBT related to vote for Obama as well.

This is the most critical election in my lifetime, and it is ESSENTIAL that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are elected. The next President will likely appoint three Supreme Court justices, and they will shape the law for generations to come. If John McCain makes those appointments, they will outlaw abortion rights, sodomy, and all other rights that stem from the right to privacy. McCain has promised to appoint justices in the mold of Antonin Scalia, who opposes all of the above, and voted against Lawrence v. Texas. That will be a disaster to all freedom-loving Americans, and horrible for all GLBT people.
