The right to vote is one of the most sacred rights we hold as Americans. Although your candidate or position may not necessarily prevail, casting a ballot remains the most powerful and important way to make a statement in our system of government.
While the LGBT community has always been committed to the right to vote, it is no secret that we have repeatedly and loudly voiced our disagreement with the proposition of having the wider electorate vote on certain matters that deeply affect us. It has not been uncommon to see the voting public asked to decide on our ability to teach in public schools, be free from discrimination in housing and employment, or marry the people we love.
