Thousands of everyday LGBTQ+ people and celebrities joined an energetic fundraising call supporting Kamala Harris’s presidential candidacy, which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
came in on a huge progressive agenda and yes glad we got somewhere on marriage equality but what else did they do?
a few things every few decades is not enough and is not progress
they left office with the minimum wage at $7.25, the healthcare situation was no better, they have the same views with the middle east, and almost everything else they campaigned on did not bear fruit
hoping Harris keeps the fire lit that she going in on over the next four years
not sure anyone that has ever run to be or has been president that publicly stated their support of the LGBTQ+ community so openly
fingers crossed Kamala will actually bring much needed change if elected
Two cycles ago (Obama v Romney) was the first time a candidate even openly supported gay marriage. We are still in the infancy of queer liberation
remember still being allowed to vote back then and voted for Obama
that change and hope never came into existence instead he dropped all the progress, we got Trump then Biden, and here we are
the fact Harris is at least willing to be this open gives some hope more than before
Gay marriage became legal for all states during Obama’s administration, I’d call that progress.
God what a stupid thing to say
why?
Obama did the same thing Biden did

The healthcare situation was no better? Lol ok
Actually trying to get shit done is amazingly moderating - turns out the president doesn’t have the power to wish things into existence.
