[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm voting for Riemer.  Blair's website reads Republican to me.

On top of that, I'm not religious but I am an LGBT person and he's got a whole religious section which I take it to mean that he would not support my continued existence just as other Republicans don't.  Riemer is endorsed by LGBTQ Democrats of Montgomery County.[/quote]

From Blair’s page on religion:

“The sacred texts of all the major faith traditions teach the importance of loving one’s neighbor as one’s self, seeking justice, and caring for the poor and vulnerable.”

“The impact of faith communities grows exponentially as they cross lines of race, culture, gender, ideology and religion in serving the common good. Examples of effective activities include; interfaith worship services of thanksgiving, interfaith prayer and candlelight vigils responding to acts of hate and violence, hosting multicultural dialogues on important and challenging local moral issues, serving as first responders to emergencies, providing healthcare, and welcoming immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Community members experiencing the rich diversity of Montgomery County in these ways know we are one human family inspired with social justice and compassion.”

I’m obviously not going to tell you who to vote for, but I don’t think Blair’s page paints the picture of someone who is a religious zealot who will attack LGBT rights.

Better safe than sorry in this current climate.[/quote]

That's exactly how I feel.  It's easy for people that aren't worried about losing their rights to tell me I'm being dramatic.  When Roe leaked a few months ago, I told people I was scared about losing gay marriage and was told I'm dramatic and it will never happen.  Now Thomas explicitly mentioned it.  I can't live my life hoping for the best.  I need to vote for the person that I know will look out for me.[/quote]
