2008 Out for Obama

onThe invitation for Out for Obama, the LGBT election-night party at Neighbours, promised huge screens, free food, bumper stickers, buttons, souvenirs, and “the beverage of your choice.” There was no memorabilia or food when the SECB arrived. In fact, there wasn’t much of anything.
While the event was called Out for Obama, it appeared everyone was out somewhere else. The place was as deserted as you’d expect a gay dance club at 6:30 p.m. on a Tuesday.
Besides the SECB, only two guys were in the room, camped out in armchairs on the dance floor running a commentary like Statler and Waldorf.
“There’s a lot of LGBT support for Barack Obama,” said Statler over the booming voice of Tom Brokaw. “They just aren’t here yet.”
