True enough. The only thing that will get Obama and the Dems moving on LGBT rights is us witholding our money, support and votes from them. Obama is still telling us to wait four years to see results and that won’t cut it. If anything does change, it will be in spite of him not because of his efforts.

It’s very easy to get up in front of potential 2012 votes and talk pretty to them. We are unfortunately so desperate for any sign of change that we are ready to climb back up Obama’s ass at the first reappearance of vague promises and hope-inspiring rhetoric.

This is sure to be the most unpopular opinion on the page but, as a gay man, I have always been pleased that a group of trained killers (US Military) would not allow me into their ranks.
I believe the focus should be on the ecomonic inequality of the discrimination of the military.

Every time I receive a fund raising letter from the Democrats, I go onto their web site and send them a message that until I see serious action on LGBT issues I will not support them with my money. So far I’ve been ignored but they also don’t have my money. Frankly, in spite of what Barney Frank said, I almost wouldn’t mind if they lost a seat or two at next years election or at least were vastly out spent. Until they feel it with our dollars, the will continue to treat us as second-class citizens.

Gerald: perhaps you could find some nice person to “proof read” your material before posting; that way you’ll only appear as 1/2 of an idiot!!

Gerald, who let you out? Your god doesn’t exist except on the god toy shelf at Toys R Us. Go back into your cage and play with your god dolls.

Well said, Emma. What we need is a single organization that will step up and define the plan, communicate it, and coordinate everyone who wants to be involved. As it stands now, we have too many different organizations with slightly different objectives and timelines. A single effort, preferably spearheaded by a powerful figure, is really needed to galvanize the effort. Where is this person/organization?
