An - but, if you're gay and they have a gay right's proposal on the ballot, or any other issue for that matter such as women's right's or affirmative action, etc, then you need to get out and have oyur voice be heard to not have them pass bans.

Yes it does. As long as the people who don't vote don't complain afterwards, I let it pass. If they do complain, I like to see them reminded that their lack of participation disqualifies them from grumbling, to me.

i absolutely HATE when people tell me that they do not vote... it is because of people like them that this idiot got into office in the first place, AND THEN stayed for a second term!! it is our right to vote and by doing so we direct the way in which the country goes!! as soon as i turned 18 i registered to vote and i cannot wait for the upcomming presidential election so that maybe we will be able to get a human being in office this time around... the information is out there for all of us, even though we lead busy lives and do not neccesarily have the time educate ourselves about the elction and the issues at hand, we MUST if we ever plan on obtaining justice for all the citizens of our country!!

I don't really know who of my friends vote and who don't - I never ask.
BUT I will admit to this - I did not vote in the last presidential election and my husband has not let me live it down. I can't say anything at all negative about President Bush because he says, "No vote no opinion" and I feel he is right!

I can't run another's life, only my own. It is disappointing when someone who has a stake in a votable issue ignores their right to vote. If they complain afterwards about a bad result, then I usually say some not-nice things.

It also bothers me when people cannot distinguish between a plural (rights) and a possessive (right's).
Choosing not to vote means that you give up any say on any political issue, and basically become a sheep.
If we truly are more than just our orientation [and I believe that we are], then issues other than LGBT rights issues should concern us, and we should vote accordingly.

Not as much as when you have a gay voting for right-wingers who are repressing people and trying to stop gay rights occuring

Yes it does.
We are fighitng for our rights everyday yet many people do
not go and vote for the rights they want.
To get what we want changed we have to show it in elections.

I have come to the conclusion that I have no power over other people, and so have decided not to be bothered when they do not behave as I would have them do.
