Why I Am Voting Democrat

One of the top reasons is this ad…


You will never see an ad like this coming from a Republican. Instead you will find the Republicans falling over one another to go to conferences like this,
Rubio, Trump face criticism over religious conference held two months after Pulse massacre
Tampa Bay Times: The Buzz

Criticism continues to mount over an appearance of Marco Rubio — and now Donald Trump — at a religious conference in Orlando this week that comes two months after the Pulse shootings that devastated the gay community and generated international mourning

“Just when you think Donald Trump and Marco Rubio couldn’t go any lower, they announce plans to court anti-LGBTQ activists in Orlando. On Thursday, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are going to seek votes from people who fundamentally believe we are not equal, who support dangerous and harmful conversion therapy and who have worked to export anti-LGBTQ hate abroad,” Human Rights Campaign said in a news release.
[…]
Rubio last week said in a statement to the Tampa Bay Times: “The event I will be speaking at in Orlando is a gathering of local pastors and faith leaders. Leave it to the media and liberal activists to label a gathering of faith leaders as an anti-LGBT event. It is nothing of the sort. It is a celebration of faith.”
Well Senator Rubio, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck it is a duck. If they talk about anti-LGBT topics at the conference it is an anti-LGBT conference.
But that has not quieted critics who say his appearance shows he is out of step with the country and incredibly insensitive given the timing and some of the speakers who will join Rubio.

For instance, Mat Staver, chairman of the Liberty Counsel, said that some mourning after the Pulse shooting amounted to a “homosexual love fest …. That’s not something that we need to celebrate, this is a tragedy that is against all Americans.”
Liberty Counsel are behind many of the anti-trans laws that have been popping up in state legislatures around the nation. You might remember here in Connecticut when the town of Enfield was sued for wanting to hold their high school graduation in church, it was Liberty Counsel that represented the town and also they were the law firm who represented the Rowan County, Kentucky court clerk Kim Davis.

The Republicans are doing everything they can to prevent us from getting our civil rights. They are using hate and religion against us.
