Your Vote: Obama. In the past I’ve voted as an Independent, but at this point I really think Obama and the Democrats need to come in; McCain/Palin is just terrible, terrible bad news.

Important Issues: Foreign policy.

Does being queer affect your decision? I’d like to say that anyone anti-queer wouldn’t get my vote, but I know we’re not there yet.
