I dislike DADT as much or more than anyone, but I seem to be more concerned with following Constitutional courses than a lot of juvinile people.

Again, I don't know wherethe gay community was when Clinton came up with such a clearly deranged law that required gay people to stay in the closet. Where were you?

If Obama changed DADT by an executive order and then congress did not vote it down he would be FUCKED. This could not happen with Gitmo.

THINK. These are different sorts of issues

YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HE JUST EXCECUTIVE ORDERED EVERYTHING.

IF YOU THINKTHE SCREAMS OF JUDICIAL ACTIVISM ARE BAD YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH OBAMA BYPASSING CONGRESS.

i have to agree with camille lapaglia on this one.

“Dear DNC,

I truly “support” Democrats being elected in 2010 and 2012. I am a “fierce advocate” of the Democratic Party after all. I know that I have promised you my support over the past few decades and have done my best to follow through.

Even now I am “working towards” a financial donation to the Party. I do have to ask for your “patience” though, because as a gay man, my family and I are still second class citizens and are having to funnel our resources towards causes that protect and honor our basic civil rights. “We have a lot on our plate.”

We are “proceeding” towards lifting the denial of funds to the DNC and are “developing a strategy” that will get us there by the end of Obama’s time at the White House. As a matter of fact, my family has planned several “meetings” to discuss these very important donations and will be sending out a press release shortly to announce our “cocktail party” celebrating Democracy.

Thanks for understanding. And hang in there!

Sincerely,
(your name)”

This LGBT man doesn't want a socialized medical system. I lived under two — Canada and the UK — and the idea of soaring taxes plus six-month waiting periods and 100 mile journeys to see a specialist just doesn't appeal to me. Been there, done that.

I definitely value my constitutional rights to equal protection under the law over failed trillion-dollar government health systems. Your opinion on the issue doesn't matter, because you already have your constitutional rights.

You are a media outlet and have a responsibility to report like one. All these sleazy..Perez Hilton type topics are reactive and silly

Equality first! Then we will help democrats!

At first one thought he/she/it was just another Obamazombie but the psychosis apparently goes much deeper than, probably predates that.

You're crazy. This is simply white noise. It's as if you just accessed a random obama comment generator.

You are nothing but an attention seeking child.

LGBT Americans want the Democrats to take on explosive wedge issues that DIVIDE this country. You all want us to go up against the Republican attack machine, the money of the Religious Right and Churches….and you can't stand behind the Democrats when they have to make power moves like Health Care Reform so they CAN TAKE ON WEDGE ISSUES.

I got it.

Buddy made a comment and I responded to it.

Get your own damn website if you want to play administrator. You and I are both off-topic often enough and you know it.

It's not derailing the issue at all. LGBT know NOTHING about politics. Its bloody obvious proven by the Prop 8 disaster everyone blew off.

If you all had brains, you would be behind the Democrats on Health Care reform right now and cool your jets. If the Democrats push through excellent health care reform for all Americans -You are home free and the people who vote against your rights are in trouble for a very long time.

Um, you're aware of what this is about, right nutjob? Reign it in, wacko.

And those addressing the nut's splutterings are even worse. It's like second hand white noise.

Health Insurance Companies play with people's lives in America too. People don't get fired because of it…they die.

Screw Obama for not pushing every single LGBT issue THIS VERY SECOND even if it could cause an firestorm of backlash if he does.

The other side of this is that our economies depend on illegals.
THose border states you talk about would grind to a halt if all the illegals were rounded up. They are kept illegal not because anyone wants to get rid of them, but so they can be forced to work for shit with no protection.

Slamming your border shut would only ensure that this recession would crash into a deep depression

Someone should e-mail this website to whitehouse.gov and tell the democrats to move on with their agenda.

Now, everyone please go to the link below and read a new, outrageous Washington Post editorial OPPOSING a stop-loss order. Then e-mail them and tell them how stupidly written it is because 1. contrary to what it asserts, Obama's DOJ already has DEFENDED DADT in their brief to the Supreme Court, and 2. they claim that there would be a backlash if Obama issued one just like the backlash Clinton experienced, and then, unintentionally, makes the case why that WOULDN'T happen because of the many ways attitudes about gays in the military in 2009 are the reverse of what they were in 1993 [save for some dinosaurs in the Jurrassic Park that is the Pentagon].

They, in fact, make NO case for opposing stop-loss because there ISN'T any. They don't even question the legality of such an order, as some have tried in the past, because it's entirely legal and various forms of stop-loss re gays goes all the way back to WWII.

Their anti stop-loss/let's just work on repeal blah blah blah angle could have been written by WH Excuse-Maker-in-Chief Robert Gibbs, and totally ignores that while repeal is stuck in the mud gays like those referenced in this demo are being discharged daily.

It's mindboggling coming from the Post which has been progressive on so many gay issues, and when their main competitor, the NY Times, has said that stop-loss SHOULD be considered, and countless others, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [hardly a Molotov cocktail thrower] and at least 77 Congressmen have said Obama should just do it!

Hopefully, someone will point out to the WAPO's editorial board the 265 WH demo and stop THEM from playing word games with peoples' lives.

That's a selective philosophy…inconsistent, given that he violates it.

i happen to disagree with the prez in this instance, but Queerty's anonymous writers should exercise some logic — it'll improve their credibility when they criticize.

In border states the occupancy of foreign nationals has become so prevalent, that I'm surprised to see the United States flag flying and schools, hospitals, government buildings and prison compounds. At the speed of this occupation of illegal aliens and their families, California, Texas and Arizona will have urban sprawl even into the deserts. California–THE SANCTUARY STATE fell foul to illegal immigration, many the years back and has been suffering under the Liberal Sacramento assembly pandering to them ever since. Now they are hurting with a $24.billion dollar budget, that according to City Manager 11 billion can be directly attributed to the the illegal immigrant invasion. For more factual data, not propaganda or naked lies go to NUMBERSUSA JUDICIALWATCH to stop 2nd AMNESTY? STOP FUNDING TO SANCTUARY STATES! NO MORE RAISED TAXES TO PAY ILLEGAL ALIENS & FAMILIES! IMMIGRATION LAWS ARE NOT BROKEN—JUST NOT ENFORCED! CALL YOUR SENATOR OR REPRESENTATIVE NOW.

if you're going to criticize (and Obama is very worthy of criticism) you should try to make sense. otherwise your position is undermined, and you resemble a shill.

The day Bush gave the office over to Obama he figured out a way to transfuse his brain into Obama. Obama the candidate and Obama the president are two very different people like I always believed. I'm starting to looking forward to our first woman president, President Sarah Palin in 2012. If Obama had made his campaign promises under oath, he would have been impeached by now.
