It’s a pretty depressing time for LGBT supporters of the Obama administration (or ex-supporters), but the Washington Post has pointed to a gay civilian who has a good chance of being appointed to Secretary of the Navy. It’s a long shot. But it would be a pretty impressive move for an administration that has been flip flopping badly on LGBT issues.

Very unlikely. Obama is nothing if not pragmatic – he knows the fag haters will provide more votes and money than the gay bloc. For him, that won’t ‘change.’
A gay man in charge of seamen….oh well, someone was bound to say it sooner or later. How likely do you think this appointment will happen considering we cant openly serve in the military?
Can’t fix this bridge. Showed his true colors.
That appointment would be a pretty shrewd move right about now.
I have yet to talk with a gay person who is not absolutely livid about Obama’s invitation to Rick “gays are like pedophiles, yes to H8″ Warren to deliver his invocation inauguration. I don’t think Obama (or his team) had any idea how incredibly infuriating that selection would be to his LGBT supporters. It’s not his style to alienate supporters, especially on purely symbolic matters, so he’s going to be looking at building bridges. This might just do it.
WOW, Just WOW.
Do you really think that Obama would trust one of them nasty fags that don’t deserve equality with such an important position?
I suspect he’ll consult the Mormon Church first.
