    Just curious how many people are aware of the 3rd party candidate.

    Former two term New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson supports marriage equality, balancing the federal budget, women's reproductive rights and ending the drug war.

    Don't assume you only have two choices - which are essentially the same choice. Any support the Democratic party has offered to the LGBT community has been mostly pandering, obviously a ploy to get more votes from our side. If Obama actually cared about marriage equality he should have done something in his 1st term.

    Are any Ron Paul supporters looking at Gary Johnson? It's my opinion that Ron Paul will drop out of the race soon, and suggest his supporters back Gary Johnson in the final election. It may be worth considering.

    LGBT are gonna vote with Obama, he OPENLY encouraged or rather supported same sex life styles and more importantly while IN the white house. The LGBT community are gonna be all out for Obama this election cycle, the Republicans are just too polarizing on the the same sex issue for them to let a chance slip for any other improvements on this civil intolerance. Though Gary Johnson has a better show of support for the LGBT community, Obama is the only realistic threat in beating Romney this fall. My $.02

    Quick answer: No

    Thanks for your answer Bonkai, but are you LGBT? I was asking LGBT people if any of them were looking at Gary Johnson.
    I'm aware of the fact that most people don't believe a 3rd party vote will count, and of course with that attitude, it won't.

    I'm still not convinced the majority of the "G" give a crap about marriage rights, I know I dont.

    And I certainly would never vote in a federal election with that as my main motivation over stuff like how much tax I'm going to pay or which party is more likely to fuck up the economy

    As for the "B", well most of them are already married anyway, just not to the ones they are fucking

    But I'm not American, if I was I'd think I'd be too fat to fit in the voting booth ;)
