    I'm sure some will donate, but he ain't getting a dime from me.

    Can't speak for Pheonix, but I won't be donating money to the Obama campaign (or the Democratic Party) for a wide range of reasons. Relevant to gay rights is the deliberate slowness the Administration has had wrt supporting the handful of gay rights it has come out in favor of and the fact that the DADT repeal doesn't include trans* (assuming the repeal ever takes effect, I'm not convinced it will).

    A) I wouldn't feel comfortable donating just based on the presumption he's going to help me out just because I'm a gay person. Similarly, I wouldn't discredit someone solely because they might be anti-gay. I don't vote with those issues in mind and I'm not a one issue voter.

    B) I tend to not vote Democrat anyway.

    Presumably because he doesn’t like some of Obama’s policies
