“The Advocate” endorses President Obama
This is the first time in decades that The Advocate has endorsed a presidential candidate.
But the magazine has stepped forward and endorsed President Barack Obama for reelection.
Here are some excerpts from the endorsement:
Barack Obama is a leader of undeniable accomplishment, vision, and integrity on LGBT rights. His opponent Mitt Romney betrays equality on numerous issues and aligns himself with a faction of the Republican Party that does not include equality among its declared ideals.
The Advocate’s last endorsement was decades ago, but the president’s statement of May 9, unequivocally in favor of marriage equality, along with his record on LGBT rights, has distinguished him for the ages and has made it clear that he is a transformational leader and our best choice for president.
Here is a LINK to the full endorsement.

I am beginning to believe that every gay man and women in this country must vote for Obama in November no matter what. Not only does he deserve and need our votes but without him there is nothing. It is our duty.
Personally, I am very grateful for all of his many LGBT contributions.

Wonder just how similar – how similar I ask with the Lincoln Memorial for what?? including the words, …”the XXth President of the United States-the Great Emancipator and preserver of the nation during ???? War …”
