Obama Won't Fool Us Again

Many Americans fooled themselves into believing that Barack Obama's embrace of anti-gay bigots during the 2008 election was just a ploy, a tactic in order to get himself elected. Now that Obama is President, we're seeing him engaged in the very same politics of targeting gays as a convenient scapegoat. Obama has broken his promise to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and is opposing efforts to overturn the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered Americans and their heterosexual allies won't fall for Barack Obama's cynical politics of triangulation through discrimination again. If Obama won't support equality, then we won't support him in 2012.

Russ Feingold For President

Let's elect a Democrat who actually supports LGBT equality!

Barack Obama won't support same sex marriage equality, and he keeps breaking his promises on Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act. Enough is enough! We can't be toyed with - let's elect Russ Feingold, who has consistently supported equality for gays and lesbians, in 2012 instead!

No We Can't Re-elect Obama Bumper Sticker

Obama is against the rainbow of equality, so...

Barack Obama took the support of GLBT Americans for granted during the 2008 presidential election, then insulted non-heterosexuals and all Americans who value equality by choosing anti-gay bigot Reverend Rick Warren to deliver a special prayer of non-inclusivity at the Inauguration.

Now, as President, Obama is defending the Defense of Marriage Act. Obama isn't just indifferent to the rights of GLBT Americans. He seems dead-set against them.

In 2012, can Obama count on GLBT support? Re-elect Obama? No we can't.

A Handout Or a Right?

"We pay taxes equally, contribute to our communities equally, support each other equally, pay equally into Social Security, and participate equally in our democracy. Equal protection is not a handout. It is our right as citizens." - Joe Solomonese, President, Human RIghts Campaign
