Beals On Obama

by Robyn Charles

Don’t think Jennifer Beals will be voting for Barack Obama in November simply because they share the same bi-racial breakdown. Beals will be voting for Obama for much more than that … his policies and politics.

I’ve always harbored a distrust of politicians and I’ve met several and they didn’t really convince me. It wasn’t until I met Barack Obama and I heard him speak that I thought there was a possibility for change — that somebody could actually change the paradigm or even the psychology of politics.

This is the first time I’ve come out in support of a presidential candidate, and I made this choice because of Senator Obama’s unique desire to engage people in the political process.

Jennifer spoke those words last Thursday (April 17) at a luncheon for professional women regarding Obama and his support of not only women, but of the GLBT community. Recently Beals also interviewed Tobias Wolff, Obama’s campaign LGBT chair.

That’s right. LGBT chair. He’s got an entire section of his campaign devoted to making sure the rights and concerns of the GLBT community are acknowledged and even honored. No candidate has gone that far (that I’m aware of) to date.

Here’s a Flickr photo set (shared thanks to Obama’s campaign website) from her time in Philly.
