Politico writes, “Obama’s promises of change are falling short for one core Democratic constituency: gays and lesbians, whose leaders say Obama’s administration isn’t keeping up with the times…
“His most important campaign promises repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and the military ban on openly gay and lesbian service-members have not been fulfilled.
“And the news, which emerged quietly earlier this year, that he’d supported same-sex marriage back in 1996, then changed his mind, especially rankles.
“As mainstream Democratic politicians such as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) move to support same-sex marriage, gay rights advocates say that the barrier-breaking president looks increasingly odd for opposing what they see as full equality.”
No kidding.
It’s all been said……
On the White House website, there used to be a GLBT section . Now that I go back to the same website, there is nothing in print or even stated about GLBT rights. It’s as if he erased us from the entire website, and has no plans for his gay supporters or the gay agenda. Thanks, Mr. President. Go listen to Pink’s song “Dear Mr. President”, because it seems to describe “President Obama himself.”
