We also cant leave it up to them alone we need to stay on top of it all make our voices be heard Barack knows what he wants to accomplish and he's a smart fella but he cant do it alone if we want it badly enough then we have to make it happen I can agree with some points in all of the posts i read but, funding the organizations that know things we dont is an important and necessary evil.

I can't express how different it feels to finally have a President I can be proud of. I understand the distrust in our community, after all we've been bashed for eight years by the Bush Administration and the neocons, but I'm elated and more than willing to give this President my support. I firmly believe, that in time he will come through for us. GLBT people and our rights have been on his agenda since the beginning of his campaign and unlike the other democrats he mentioned us and our rights in almost every speech.

I take issue with those who think throwing money at politicians will impress them into doing the right thing with LGBT rights. Very wrong-headed. Feet (or whole bodies in the case of ACT-UP) on the pavement are the only force which brings government to the table ultimately. There needs to be a GLBT MARCH ON WASHINGTON within the next 2 years. It worked wonders the last time, despite Reagan's later attempt to drive us all into our graves with AIDS. Giving lots of money to gay politicos does little other than feather their nests. Let them, like other politicos EARN both the money and respect with some more visible signs of hard work, protest and progress.

Not to say that is anything wrong with OWM, but some diversity and natural tesotsoteron and estrogen will do great.

They will gain power from being on the winning side. We need to reinforce them. And we have GLAAD...hope they get more $$ if they need it (they should get tons from all the closeted gays in the entertainment business!!!) And supposedly HRC has awakened and wants to be a proper Acitivst Group again....we'll see about that. If Obama does any of HRC's Blueprint policy changes we will know he is listenig. If he doesn't WE WILL SHOUT LOUDER!!! It's gonna take $$$ folks to support the noise we want so be prepared. Well we have Keith Oberman and Rachel Maddow…on the very GOOD CORRECT Right side now.
