"Friends" - LGBT People on Barack Obama

[Godzilla1985]

If AIDS/HIV is ever cured, All the Africans and Carribeans should be cured first.  Gays.... Last!

[JoeyBoya]

Everyone should be cured! Doest matter who they are.... Spread love not hate please

It's useful to remember the words of historian Howard Zinn: Where progress has been made, wherever any kind of injustice has been overturned, it's been because people acted as citizens, and not as politicians. They didn't just moan. They worked, they acted, they organized, they rioted if necessary.

[themodpoet]

TODAY, THERE'S something profoundly disturbing about Barack Obama, the son of a Black man and a white woman, using the racial segregationists' call for "states' rights" when it comes to same-sex marriage.

[themodpoet]

So, who is the Barack Obama who got elected? He doesn't sound like the guy these people are talking about. The current president of the US sounds like your typical political homophobe.

[beliefxinflyingpigs]

It's hard for him to act, though, yeah? Especially since most of the action has to come through Congress--the President technically can't make laws. But he's never retracted his support that I know of--he replied to Lt. Dan Choi and other officers about Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The thing is, he can't DO much. He's just one man with a whole lot of problems to concentrate on. Calling him a homophobe is a bit unfair.

[bababuba]

OMG , the Obama fever is ALL over the world:)

[TheYaoiSurgeon]

OBAMA!!

I just know he can help the LGBT community. I believe in him 100%. 5 stars

[murse23]

I think that Obama points out a hisotric moment for as all!! BEAUTIFUL

[Mariogirl16]

Well, I'm hoping gay marriage gets legalized some time while he's in office. Prolly wouldn't happen till' his 2nd term tho.

[bestupidvoteobama]

NO MR. OBAMA

WE DO NOT ALL want a GAY America with men dancing up and down our streets naked and sodomizing eachother! Try running in the Netherlands, NAMBLA will fight HARD for you there!

[dairyair264]

LMAO are you serious??? You really think that's gonna happen? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and let you have another chance at not sounding ignorant trailer park-esque. You act like being gay is a new thing or something. There's been gays forever man, get a grip.

[Michthemitch]

Great!!!!!!!!!

[sentientphotos]

Quote from last night's debate:

On whether they support gay marriage:

BIDEN: "No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths, the determination, what you call it."

PALIN: "Your question to him was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not."

???

[animejunkie34]

I really hope he's elected.

[beccarmagie]

Wow I'm actually crying, I wish I could vote for him :) (from Britain =/ )

[civilcasualty]

i will vote in november, with you in mind.

[beccarmagie]

cheers ^_^ I have an uncle who gets a vote and he says he's gonna vote for Obama for me too :D

[NickWoha]

God, I hope you guys select Obama as your president.

[Somesinger]

I hope to God we do, too.

[bm2orrell]

have you seen the church beliefs of this guy, if not, put god damn america in the search box? wow? and he kinda thinks killin babies is a good thing. I hope to god? not with this guy.

[bisexualgirl1]

I think the group of GLBT is a special group. It's very hard to be openly gay, lesbian or bisexual. They usually got harassed, beaten up, pushed around and called all kinds of slurs. They would say all sorts of horrible things for the wrong reasons.

So I think we should give them more support and understanding, just like the online community BisexualMingle dotcom.

[xdante012x]

just someone to see what our needs are and protect them as the vid says, and thats all we need then leave us alone, we don't need anything special, I am my brothers keeper and he is mine!

[AEsh0rty]

Finally.

...god i wish i could vote in this election...

[crazychagasse]

wow just amazing!

i'm french but i hope abama's going to win.

good luck.

be free and happy.

[zizizzi]

Wow... something I did not know about him.

Fantastic!

[limonade09]

This is fantastic! I would be so proud to have a president that actually supports TRUE equality.

[alliewobbles]

This sealed my vote for Obama. I was doubtful that he wouldn't just avoid the social issues altoether, but he proved me wrong, and I'm glad he did.

If this man is not elected, then there is no justice in the world.

[bm2orrell]

you say no justice in this world? no justice for who? you ever heard of killing babies, its real easy, they cant defend themselves, they are helpless, and the right to choose was made at thier conception. Barrack 08, lets bring on the justice to all them babies.

[Somesinger]

learn some grammar, genius.

[stargateproductions]

Abortion is not murder since the clump of cells are not fully formed.

[tma1982]

I hope Americans will elect Obama. We need more support for freedom of our GLBT community in the Middle East.

[MrUNC07]

I definitely am voting for Obama, McCain was simply not an option and I really don't see how McCain is an option for ANY GLBT person; however, why is the HRC so "gung ho" now, but was opposed to his candidacy before? He has always been more progressive and included gays and lesbians in his speeches, more so than Hillary. ObamaBiden '08!!!

[NewFutureAmerica]

Why is Barack Obama against gay marriage?!

[MrUNC07]

Because it's politically unpopular to say you're in favor of gay marriage. I believe that once he gets in office, this is an issue we can get him on board for.

[LyVictor]

As an ally of the LGBTQQIA community and an activist, this video gives me shivers. I cannot wait for Obama to be the next president of the United States of America.

[Suki98]

aww I just got shivers! I was an avid Hillary supporter and was still unsure of Obama, but after that I'm not only voting against McCain but I'm helping the right person get into office.

[Talk2ben]

Jerrydoubleu, how do you define conservative? They're supporting the more liberal candidate for election!

[silenthk47]

Speaking from a young gay highschoolers perspective, Barack Obama gives me enormous amounts of hope that I will see equality in my lifetime.

[dyad2r1]

@silenthk47

You're 27 and still in high school?  What's the problem?

[jerrydoubleu]

hrc has become a conservative org which is kind of awful.

[gaymilitaryman]

This is GOOD!
