Let me see if I understand what this gay American is saying.

16. My apologies
I'm not a big-picture person in this election. For the last 25 years I've put aside my wants and needs as a gay person because it seemed secondary.
Gay or not, this is the first utterly selfless liberal in the country.
Then my better half had heart surgery and I realized that I could lose him. And not one thing that these politicians say or do could ever give him back to me.
"Prior to my life partner having surgery I truly believed democrat politicians could raise the dead."
The same goes for Paul. I could die tomorrow and everything that we worked together for could be taken away from him.
"We were smart enough to acquire assets but too stupid to make out a will making each other beneficiaries."
So to the person who asked me if it's always about me and my agenda...This time around, yes. It is. Sorry if that seems selfish, but Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama have those rights that I do not. And they take me for granted. They'll take my vote but offer little in return.
"There are a million issues that matter in this election, but this time it's all about ME, ME, ME!!!! Why should I have to be responsible for my life! Whoever wins this election has to MANDATE super duper rights for gays or I'm going to throw a tantrum and pout and whine for the next 4 years!"
