1. His homophobia worked

[cutlassmama]

2. Why are you vomiting? This is GREAT news!!!

[cboy4]

4. I'm sure there are lots of supporters praying away teh

gay in celebration.

[Maven]

12. Only the UNHAPPY ones, of course.

[WillParkinson]

6. If you say so...

There are many gays and lesbians who don't agree.

(And, yes, there are some who will agree, too.)

[David__77]

3. Well, this gay man couldn't be more pleased that Obama won!

I'm glad to see this crushing victory.

5. Homophobia: the New Southern Strategy

Ah, I'm done with this shit.

[Jamastiene]

9. You are not the only one.

I'll vote for a pine cone before I'll vote for Obama. I am a human being and dammit he needs to see we deserve the same rights as anyone else.

[Maven]

11. That's exactly what this is.

[hulklogan]

7. Call me naive but until tonight I really did believe that the Democractic candidates

really cared about the GLBT community. Listing to Senator Obama's "victory speech" has finally showed me that I was foolish to believe such a thing. He managed to completely ignore the GLBT community while mentioning every division being created during this election (gender, black vs. white, latino vs. black, rich vs. poor, old vs. young).

I don't see the hope, but I certainly see the hype.

[Jamastiene]

10. At this point, I'm beginning to wonder if we even have

any progressives left in the Democratic Party. Maybe now it is time to start looking into the Green Party and moving there en masse.

[Jamastiene]

8. Just shoot me now and get it over with. I need some mercy.

13. It isn't just that he won but how he won

I am so disgusted with the fact that he was able to play the pander to the anti gay voters card and win so decisively.

[terrya]

14. Yes.

It means his campaign will do the same thing in other states....Alabama, Mississippi, Idaho, etc. Any state where anti-gay rhetoric will play well, his campaign will use it.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. Obama's speech

Claimed that religion gets used as a wedge instead of apologizing for using gay people as a wedge to pander to the religious community.
I'm with Edwards. Nominate Obama and I go shopping.

[Tyler Durden]

19. Pardon me, but FUCK religion.

I have had it with what I believe is an imaginary being and his odd dogmas running any portion of the State or my life.

EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW!

[MuseRider]

16. I am sooo done with this.

I feel so left out. Not as in self pity but as in I am fucking angry. What a sham our election process is. Has it always been this bad? I had not noticed before 2000 but I have no interest in what is going on now. Now to Obama............

The fact that Obama won just makes me angry and sick at my stomach. Your lives have been sold. The work that we do has been discredited with many people now. Is this all you as humans and citizens of this country mean? To be used and discarded as needed? I know there are many GLBT who do not agree with this view. I am very happy that they can see the good in the man. He sure sounds good, if not deep, on paper but his actions make all of that go away for me. Crap. All I can say is that I hope he will govern with more fairness and less divisiveness than he is running. Still, I will not vote based on hopes that the man is not going to govern the way he is running. Hope is no way to elect a leader, an advocate or a representative.

Rock star politics. This country deserves what it gets, I just hope it is going to be better than I expect.

[Jella]

17. My gay supporting brother

said he will not vote for Obama. Quite frankly, he and I very well may go out for a Bloody Mary that day. Let the repugs fix the economy, and deal with Iraq. It's their mess.

I'm so tired.

[mitchtv]

20. Partner and his sister (Chicanos)

say they will never vote for mr O. I may have to change my Edwards allegiance to HRC if it gets close.

[Tyler Durden]

18. To paraphrase D.L Hughley on Maher's show:

When a politician talks about voting fraud or uses the term "traditional" marriage, those are the new Code Words for "I'll keep the n*ggers or the qu**rs away from you." Republicans use both, USUALLY the Democrats only use one.
