Reply #16: My apologies [View All]

[WillParkinson]

I'm not a big-picture person in this election. For the last 25 years I've put aside my wants and needs as a gay person because it seemed secondary.

Then my better half had heart surgery and I realized that I could lose him. And not one thing that these politicians say or do could ever give him back to me.

The same goes for Paul. I could die tomorrow and everything that we worked together for could be taken away from him.

So to the person who asked me if it's always about me and my agenda...This time around, yes. It is. Sorry if that seems selfish, but Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama have those rights that I do not. And they take me for granted. They'll take my vote but offer little in return.
