Apparently despite Obama coming out ahead of Hilary Clinton, the LGBT community seems to favor to a certain degree Hilary Clinton. I've been trying to think why this is. Barack Obama, the great uniter, who makes friends with those who given the chance would lynch or burn at the stake every lesbian, gay, bi and trans person from New York to San Francisco.

I suppose it depends on how you feel about those who have been suckered into the conservative christian movement. I have friends who think those, particularly the ones who have been raised in conservative environments will never become enlightened. I don't feel this, i know its a huge effort, but i believe that anyone, no matter how damaging their upbringing can be enlightened.

If Obama chooses to make friends with the moderate forces in the republican party, it will be a way to start bringing those individuals out of the closed box they are in.

I would love to see Bush and company dragged off to prison and convicted for treason, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and a few other crimes to boot, but i'd far rather see a reformed and enlightened America.

Therefore i'm still gonna be an Obama supporter :)

Also as an aside, Romney has stepped aside, which leaves McCain on the route towards the republican ticket. I'll be interested to see whether the republican party prefers a foaming at the mouth preacher, or a pragmatic amoralist as their candidate...
