    like abortion, the democrats did nothing when they had the chance and; in my case and many others like me; they actively made it worse.

    it was hollywood that changed people’s minds on lgbt issues and democrats are simply the political beneficiaries.

      All fair criticisms of Democrats in my opinion.

      The only thing I have a problem with is your “never vote Democrat” rule. You do you, but I believe voting in a way that will most help LGBT people, and most help women’s reproductive rights, etc–I believe that if you want to cast votes that most support those causes, it will sometimes require voting for a Democrat.

      Also, to get that clarity I was seeking. Do you:

      1. Recommend people vote for Democrats (sounds like no).
      2. Recommend people vote for Republicans.
      3. Recommend people vote for third-parties or not vote at all.

      These are the only 3 possibilities. Which are you?

      For example, if you believe that Republicans are better for LGBT issues, then I want to hear you say it: “I think Republicans are better on LGBT issues”. I have my own opinion on this which I will keep to myself, I really just want you to be clear about your view and then let everyone judge for themselves what they think is right.
