Register to Vote Today, then March on the Polls with Pride November 3rd
If it seems like every four years we hear, “the stakes in this Presidential election could not be higher,” it’s probably true. We do hear it but this year the stakes are not higher; they’re do or die for the America we know.
Our democracy hangs in the balance.
As absurd and outrageous as it may be, the current occupant of the Oval Office can’t simply lose by enough votes to give Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the 270 electoral votes to win. It will need to be a decisive, if not monumental victory.
Our 2020 nightmare has made it a reality.
Also hanging in the balance are all of the advances in LGBTQ+ civil rights and equality which are at risk of being rolled back and any continued progress halted.
Our lives and our families are in mortal danger.

The only way to have an overwhelming victory is to have an overwhelming voter turn out and that starts with voter registration today. If you think your gay vote and the vote of your boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, and chosen family won’t make a difference, look at the difference the LGBTQ+ vote could have made in 2016 from VoteProud.org.

It’ll take you less time to do that than it will to listen to this New “Groove for Good” Remix of Billy Porter’s “For What It’s Worth.” From his Instagram, “Just in time for #NationalVoterRegistrationDay Grammy-winning producer #TracyYoung adds her groove-laden, fierce magic to my cover of the Stephen Stills classic.”
