Today is election day and it is vital that the LGBT community and allies get out to the polls to vote for progressive and equality minded candidates for our local districts throughout the country.
There are also some key races and ballots for consideration today that effect the LGBT community and this blog is endorsing some candidates and positions.
*Election day recommendations are always based on the LGBT record of the candidate and not on the basis of their political affiliation.
