DADT could have been done at any time in the past 2 years or under President Clinton. But without that issue it would be harder to milk gay donors for dollars for the DNC.

It was passed now only so Obama, presiding over double digit unemployment he has helped create and facing the loss of Congress and the loss of the Senate in 2012, could claim that he achieved something.

This is wonderful. Still Obama’s first two yeas were squandered We need ENDA passed, which would impact so many more of our community including our trans members. Plus DOMA is just so hateful. Unfortunately dealing with these vital pieces of legislation will be many years away.
