How about flooding the inauguration with a gay presence? When The Homohpobia-Driven Preacher gets up to "prey," we all turn our backs on him. Or blow compressed air horns till he walks off stage?

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:39:50 +0000 http://www.queerty.com/?p=35575#comment-106585 How can you be so quick to write off his presidency before he's even sworn in? You're no better than the wingnuts who seek to invalidate him at every turn. Look at the anger in your posts. The hatred. You have your ideas for what Barack Obama needs to do for gays and I have mine. Thus far, I don't feel betrayed in the least. We obviously don't share the same priorities.

The article says he's being asked to appoint the guy...NOT that its his idea or that he will. He's let us know something alright: we were played for cash cow fools just like by Clinton's campaign. But at least Clinton waited until AFTER he was sworn in to start screwing us over. Wake up and smell the betrayal, fool! Michael W.—you don’t even know how to fucking read.

Who cares about that when the military will be the toughest nut to crack? The old firebrand Obama is still there and this is a perfect example. He's letting us know that he won't abandon us.

WHICH IT SHOULD. Obama can't even get his head on right about repealing DADT. From his early strong statements [when he needed our start up cash] he's backtracked further and further until he sounds like the most he intends is to beg his daddies at the Pentagon to let him integrate the fags. He showed no such willingness to dialogue and reach consensus about the withdrawal from Iraq. When asked about Pentagon resistance to that he's grabbed his balls and effectively said I'll show those fuckers who's boss. If he wouldn't appoint an out gay as a member of his cabinet he sure as hell isn't going to appoint one to piss off the Pentagon. BOYCOTT THE INAUGURATION OF BARACK DOESN'T GET IT OBAMA!!!!

So Rick Warren gets to give a prayer. Big woop. By doing that he gets to undercut the religious right fanatics while slapping down the jerry falwell/pat robertson/focus on the family faction. There is plenty of time and courses of action to take after the swearing in. I’m with you Joe Moag. So Rick Warren gets to give a prayer. Big woop.

I, for one, am keeping my powder dry. I am not willing to see the Warren debacle as the be all and end all of Obama's work on/with LGBT issues, nor an appointment to Navy, etc... I will be watching and would prefer to let a little time and substantive actions unfurl before I start making any conclusions about Obama and our community.
