SOUNDBITES — “So now I am looking to our superhero President to do what is right! President Obama says that he will REPEAL the DADT policy, but so far, we don’t have a date as of yet…..all we have is just a campaign promise that really gave us all hope during that time that a change was coming! We shall all be free! I for one, trust the words of our President. I trust that he will continue to fight for our rights from within the White House walls just like he promised he would. As a matter of fact, I would like to applaud him for extending partner benefits to federal Gay employees, calling on Congress to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, meeting with Mathew Shephard’s mom(the same Lady who turned away Perez Hilton for his recent anti-gay slur) about hate crimes, and repealing the HIV travelers ban…so yes, I will give Obama credit where it is due! Our guy, is on the move and I love him for it. However, we still need a date Mr. Obama. When will you give us that date to repeal the DADT Policy and continue be the Superhero that you can be! We are here, we are queer, and its about time that the military gets used to it!!!” —Reality television actress and bisexual person Tila Tequila on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

A reality television ‘actress’ which is a stretch as a spokesperson for gay equality? Talk about getting desperate for anyone to speak out on dumb DADT policy, since no one I their right mind or real world would take this chick serious other than other fame seeking odd balls like her on MTV…
Tila Tequila, wow…
Richard in DC
Wow, that was a surprisingly cogent and articulate statement. Good Job, Tila, thank you!

I haven’t seen such a transparent, shameless attempt by a professional publicity seeking parasite to attach its bloodsucking lips to anything that will attract a camera since Reichen asked Lance Bass out.
No, I don’t have the wrong thread…I’m not talking about Simon Rex.
Of course, that’s only opinion, but let’s look at some facts Vampira trampled in her hysterical stampede for attention.
Mr. Obama extended SOME partner benefits to federal Gay employees and they were pretty piss poor at that. The consensus description: “crumbs” while only highlighting the fact that he’s not kept his promise of cake… to actually DO something about DOMA which affects ALL gay couples in America.
Mr. Obama also promised Judy Shepard at least 10 minutes to discuss the hate crimes bill named for her son. But he was running late for his next meeting so she got “about a minute”…long enough for Presidential patronizing remarks and another photo op for the man who confuses image with substance [has he YET let himself be photographed with San Francisco’s gay marriage mayor Newsom?]. That Mr. Obama described that as a “meeting” at Monday’s tea party is just another example of his personalized redefining of words like “full” as in “FULL LGBT equality except for that marriage thingy. [After Mr. Obama’s smile & run, Mrs. Shepard joined other women for lunch with Michelle who inexplicably did not speak to her.]
Mr. Obama did NOT repeal the HIV-travelers ban. It was repealed LAST YEAR by Congress as a part of a bill that even Bushnik signed so was waiting on Mr. Obama when he took office. Six months later his Administration is just getting around to writing the new immigration regulations required to implement it because we all know you can catch it from just standing next to some fag foreigner at Dollywood or Donnie McClurkin/Rick Warren revival [that was sarcasm for any with a deaf ear for same]. [BTW, Ms. Teguila: a president can’t “repeal” ANY Congressional legislation.]
Finally, employing the tired-the-first-time-anyone-said-it “we’re here, we’re queer” when addressing the President is juvenile at best.
“Paging Tia Tequila. Reichen on Line 1.”
