We know the truth about Hillary and the message we get from the trashers sends me further away from their candidate.

Sorry if it hurt.

Those are the same privileged posters that also like to tell women what a feminist is, or does, or how she should act, think, or what they need for us to do so they can find us attractive. Blah, blah, blah.

For me they are simply not democrats.

Meet the Gay Couple Featured in Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Announcement Video

snip//

Jared Milrad, 31, and Nathan Johnson, 30, are getting married this July. And they will have one heck of a story to tell at their wedding.

The two men were among the “everyday” Americans featured in the video Hillary Clinton used to announce her candidacy for president of the United States on Sunday.


Milrad, a lawyer and non-profit founder, and Johnson, a health care consultant, live in Chicago and appear in the video for just a few seconds.

In an interview, Milrad and Johnson said they knew the video was for Clinton’s campaign but had no idea it was for her announcement. In fact, their cameo came as a surprise until today.

ABC News spoke to Milrad by phone on Sunday:

How did you get chosen?

“One of our friends who is involved with Democratic politics and did some work for Obama referred us to the media company that was doing the video.” (Milrad said the theme of the project was described to them as “big life changes” and since they were getting married they were referred).

Hillary use to attend prayer breakfast with the group during a very difficult time in her life. Tell us what awful things she did as a result.

I have been to funerals and weddings in various Catholic churches. What does that make me?

I deliver Meals on Wheels prepared at a local Episcopal church. What does that make me?

I volunteer at the Salvation Army once a week in the Soup Kitchen. What does that make me?

I mentor at-risk kids through a program at the Methodist church. What does that make me?

One more thing... I am agnostic.

I'm not working and it probably would do me good to get out of the house and volunteer sometimes.

All of those straight people are so busy trying to tell us gay folks who to vote referencing only one issue of importance to our community. Meanwhile, I bet 99% of them don't even know what ENDA is, let alone its history and current status.
