Exercise Your Right!

Tomorrow, November 2, 2010, is Election Day. I know that many gay people are angry and upset with our current government and the slow response to issues dealing with our community. I feel the same. It seems like every promise made to us hasn't been delivered. We're disappointed and we have every right to feel that way. I am, like most of us, very pissed off about this.

Ignoring this election or just staying home isn't an option for our people. All we need to do is look around us to see all the extremists candidates (read: tea-baggers) who are promising division, hate, exclusion and oppression if elected. If they win, the future looks very bad for all of us as a community and our nation as a whole. Sitting out this election is not in our best interests.

We are totally correct in our frustration with the uncaring attitude of our current government. They are a pathetic group of spineless individuals. Remaining on the sidelines and allowing a bigoted, fascist victory doesn't benefit any of us at all. It will only make things worse than what they already are.
