Let's Get Political: The Candidates And Gaming
I debated posting this article because I know how passionate people can be about the upcoming election. Still though, as most of our readers are in fact gay gamers I figure we should at least give you all the tools to be informed about the candidates for president. Edge has posted a comprehensive summary of the candidates and their running mates' views on gaming. While gaming is far from the most important issue facing the United States, the write-up is actually quite interesting and I was surprised by how McCain and Obama have used the topic in their campaigns. I am following the footsteps of my fellow journalists and just providing the link; going to try to remain without bias on this one.

I'm not entirely comfortable with the way that child is leering at Uncle Sam.
As in the word order of the title of this site, I feel that Gay comes first and Gamer comes second. I'd rather have my candidate focus primarily on Gay rights and secondarily on Gamer rights.
I have a little more of a vested interest in my boyfriend than I have in my consoles! :D
@ Squeech
Agreed. I really hope nobody makes their voting decision based on gamer rights.
Though if it gets people out to vote then I guess it isn't too bad.
@ Sgt. Sausagepants
That child is clearly 18...clearly...I hope
@Sgt. Sausagepants
Uncle Sam is kind of a hottie, though... apparently.
