God bless Fred Karger, who I will always respect for his equally-noble and ultimately quixotic effort to keep Laguna Beach’s Boom Boom Room from closing.

An interesting footnote to the Karger campaign and an illustration of the complexities at the frontier of our quest for equal rights can be found in a joint press release from Equality Utah and Utah Pride from June 25, 2012 regarding the Karger campaign and LDS families with LGBT children.

I’m still voting Democrat this year but Fred Karger would be the only Republican I would ever consider voting for if I wasn’t going to. Would he have greater chances of making it into a televised debate if he ran as a Democrat next time?

Good luck, Fred. But Gary Johnson is a good “protest vote” if you can’t stomach Obama.

I imagine his name will go down in the (gay) history books. He did alot for LGBT people by running his campaign as he did. Best of luck to him!

FRed Karger is the opposite of the closet. We would do well to follow his example.

Drat. I was considering writing his name in this November since I refuse to vote for Obama-Romney. Guess it’ll be Gary Johnson then…
