Elections effect on LGBT Community

[eastofeden]

All I can say is the Obama administration better get there act together and get DADT off the books before the new guys come into congress.

It will never happen...they are all politicians and with 95% of them it will always be politics before principle. It will be seen as the deal breaker for the 2012 elections if he moves forward to end DADT.

Prior to his election..Obama avoided being in the same room and/or taking a photo with Gavin Newsom who is the pro gay marriage activist Mayor of San Francisco because he thought it would hurt him politically. Despite what he says...his actions have shown repeatedly that gay issues are not high on his list of priorities though on the other side he has appointed more openly gay people to positions than all the others combined so I wouldn't say he is necessarily throwing us under a bus...he is just trying to avoid the same fate for himself.
