LGBT Magazine The Advocate Endorses Obama

LGBT Magazine The Advocate Endorses Obama

The Advocate, an LGBT publication, gave President Obama the magazine’s first endorsement in decades. Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage carries real consequences, Editor in Chief Matthew Breen writes.

The Advocate’s last endorsement was decades ago, but the president’s statement of May 9, unequivocally in favor of marriage equality, along with his record on LGBT rights, has distinguished him for the ages and has made it clear that he is a transformational leader and our best choice for president.

Love this quote:

Barack Obama is a leader of undeniable accomplishment, vision, and integrity on LGBT rights. His opponent Mitt Romney betrays equality on numerous issues and aligns himself with a faction of the Republican Party that does not include equality among its declared ideals.
