Glad I read it first. Ms. Simpson is more than qualified for the job. You couldn't say that about many (any?) of Dubya's appointees. And I applaud her decision to trans - althought the fact that she's gorgeous doesn't hurt. Attmay, some of us breeders do support your rights. I'm not thrilled with Obama so far but I'm still hoping he comes through on scrapping don't-ask/don't-tell & comes around to supporting same sex marriage.

We're just not wasting it. In order for Obama to do anything, he'll have to grow a pair, and that just doesn't seem to be in the cards. I think he got all he wanted when he was elected. He's not going to rock any boats by actually doing something. FiFi, we’re not losing hope. We’re just not wasting it.

You remember that right? Back when there were 8 lgbt specific promises. Funny thing is...those promises have been edited slightly since he was elected - but don't take my word for it...go check out the civil rights section of whitehouse.gov for yourself. The hate crimes bill? Ummm...yeah...actually what he signed was a defense funding bill with hate crimes attached to it. And perhaps you missed the brief released in july that defended DOMA. Google it. Sorry Chet, but Barry's been silent on almost every LGBT specific issue. Don't get me wrong...I hope he shifts gears and I don't think it's too late to do so...I'm just being real. ! @Rick

But yes, Obama is worse than Bush. He is worse because he makes it PC to call yourself a progressive while not believing in equal rights for those fagots. When we had Bush, we had the liberals on our side. Best to Simpson. But yes, Obama is worse than Bush.

Sorry, but all of the promises he made weren't just to to gay community. He has made promises to the rest of the country, too. If you'd like to talk about promises made to the LGBT community I offer you the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was signed into law this year. @YCKTR: At last count he’s made good on 79 of them.
