For the GLBT community, the 2004 election year is unequivocally one of the most important in which to vote wisely. With the proposed federal constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman; the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling legalizing marriage for gays and lesbians as of the third week in May and the potential for opponents to overturn that ruling in 2006; numerous state bills challenging GLBT marriage rights and marriage bans across the nation; the City of San Francisco’s lawsuit against the state of California regarding interpretation of the constitution for GLBT civil rights; and the implementation – and potential lawsuits against – AB 205 domestic partner legislation in 2005, so much of our GLBT civil rights in the next four years are either up for vote or on the chopping block. Whoever we elect into offices on the federal, state and local levels must be unwavering in their support. Here’s the outlook for the March 2 primary – the candidates, the issues and the Gay & Lesbian Times’ trusty annual pull-out voter guide.
