The LGBT people should not be discriminated as they are also humans like all of us. Thus, Obama should fulfill what he promised. Hopefully, this will not be one of Obama’s broken promises.

Immigration Act of 1986 blocked a lot of people from adjusting their status. Result: 11 million undocumented residents, 4 million American citizen children who leave in fear of losing parent or both parents, young students who a Americans without documents, spouses of American citizens who are being deported. Republicans enacted that Act to secure a supply of slave labor and ensure that there no way for the “slaves” to become legal. Republicans knew that people were crossing the border, bringing families, having children. They knew about that in 1990, 1991,…2000. What did they do? NOTHING. Instead of revisiting the Immigration Act and fixing it’s flaws, They did absolutely NOTHING. Republicans will fight tooth and nail against any legalization because they don’t want to be sued by former “slaves” for underpaid wages and inhuman working conditions. Too sad that Obama calls that a Democracy.

Immigration is not only the Hispanic issue. It is a priority for other minorities and nationalities. It is sad that Obama is listening to hate groups and racists, and not using his power that was given to him by Working People. Where is Democracy in that?! Or may be he doesn’t care about 4 million American citizen children who lost or about to lose one or both parents. He never cared about immigration reform. He lied to get to the White House, he lied to become a President. Obama has unresolved personal issues with his father leaving him and his mama. He only became a President to proof that his papa was wrong. Obama doesn’t care about people, he enjoys other people sufferings. Vote him out. Obama is just a miserable liar, who even cannot keep his word. Vote him out.

Obama and I agree on one thing and one thing only, that “civil unions represent the best way to advance relationship recognition for same-sex couples.”

This article perfectly illustrates one of the most pressing problems for the LGBT community: lack of leadership around a common consensus on priorities. Each of our national organizations has its own agenda and by focusing on everything simultaneously we dilute our clout and resources.

Yeah come on OBAMA, you have my vote if you repeal DOMA and enact the UAFA/RFA, otherwise I am afraid I am feeling as though democracy is officially dead.
Do what you promised and do what is right!
