Well it’s just WOW…SORRY that he didn’t jump to everythng that you wanted when you wanted it.
Hey I’m not totally happy with everything but some things were done. But at least we do now have a hate crimes law regardless of how it came to law. IT DID.

That is something your beloved Bill would have never done and also so much continued LOVE for a man who gave you D.A.D.T!

But then again this community as a whole never wanted Barack Obama in there in the first place and that also goes for The Blade. It was Hillary or bust!

And your anger should be at the congress who makes the laws…NOT OBAMA who just signs them!

In other words, our prospects with the GOP in charge can’t be any worse than with Democrats running things.

First of all, it’s “cojones”. Secondly, an executive order can’t rescind DADT. Since Congress (with Democratic majorities in BOTH houses) passed a law, (signed by a Democratic President) Congress will have to change the law, or it will have to be declared unconstitutional.

Two words: “Exucutive Order.” That’s what it would take to eliminate Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. One word: “Cajones.” That is what our president lacks.

@Frankie James. Dear Brother, I beg to differ but during Obama’s first year in office, he had a filibuster-proof Congress with the possibility of even some liberal Republicans joining. If he were serious about doing any for our community, he would have acted then. We should have realize (as some of us did), that the selection (and his defense) of having Rev. Rick Warren delivery the inaugural invocation was a warning of things to come.

Bill – there was never a filibuster proof control in place… beside, you know Gays are the last group it is still ok to score points with.

GOProud should just give it up and go hide. Clearly reason does not lead their ignorant goals – just more money.

Oh, no progress for LGBT issues under GOP control? Sounds just like what we got under a democratic administration and filibuster-proof control Congress.

Yes, the prospects for gay rights legislation if the Republicans take power are pretty grim. Just like the prospects for gay rights legislation if the Democrats keep their unprecedented majorities.
