(Images via Flex Your Vote) Eight famous fitness photogs are working together on “Flex Your Vote,” a campaign to urge LGBTQ people and our allies to vote this November.
Mike Ruiz, who organized the campaign, says: It's painfully clear why this is the most important time in our lifetimes to vote.
We are being engulfed by a pandemic, millions are unemployed, the government is riddled with corruption. We need to change the direction of this country or we are headed towards a dictatorship where we will be stripped of our rights.
I like Ruiz's reasoning for launching this, beyond the obvious one — he took note of the fact that so many fitness models are right-wingers, posting things that undermine LGBTQ rights.
