Watch: Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jane Lynch, Other LGBT Celebrities Endorse Obama’s Re-Election
Jane Lynch, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Billie Jean King, George Takei, Wanda Sykes, Zachary Quinto, and Chaz Bono share why they’re supporting President Barack Obama and why Mitt Romney isn’t the choice for them.
“All it takes is someone like Mitt Romney in the White House, he could roll back rights — we could lose them,” says Jane Lynch. “Thomas Jefferson said you have to re-fight this fight with every generation, and it’s our turn now. We have to preserve those rights, and when you cast a vote for Barack Obama, you’re standing up for those rights.”
I’m proud of President Obama’s accomplishments, and we need a second Obama term. The polls show the race is tied. We could lose this, and with it so many advances for our community, and for our country in every area, not just LGBT rights.
It’s up to you. If you don’t vote, we all lose.
