This president Barack Obama has done more for the LGBT community than any president in history. It's just an objective fact.

I think we can topple the patriarchy by using our voices to speak out against things that aren't right and that we don't agree with.

While the President [Barack Obama] did a good thing when he said he personally supported equal marriage, he then quickly backed away and said that he wasn't going to do anything about it - that it was a state matter, and that he wasn't going to interfere, as opposed to being than being a real advocate for equality across the board in marriage. He also, I think two weeks prior to that statement, refused to sign an executive order to establish equal rights in the workplace for the LGBT community.
It's nice to have the support of the LGBT community, because they're loyal, and they'll follow you down any career path.
