We're in the midst of possibly the most consequential midterm election in history -- and LGBTQ voters are representing. Likely spurred by the Trump's administrations regular attacks on our community, queer voter energy appears high. Check out how some high-profile LGBTQ voters -- and candidates -- are spending election day:

\u201cHi I really like having rights. How about you? Did you know that in MANY states you can be fired or turned down for an apartment because you are LGBT? Did you know that Republican lawmakers want to allow even more discrimination against our community? Vote today. Please.\u201d

\u201cIt has been a privilege and honor to serve the residents of Assembly District 28 in Silicon Valley (#Campbell, #SanJose, #Saratoga, #Cupertino, #LosGatos and #MonteSereno). I\u2019d be honored to serve for another term and ask for your vote today!\u201d

\u201cToday is the 10 year anniversary of me coming out. It was the day after Obama was elected and also the day Prop 8 stripped marriage rights from gay Californians. I was hopeful and I was also scared. Your vote affects the lives of others in ways you may not even realize.\u201d
