LGBT Agenda, Marriage, and OBAMA (not doing enough?)

(parts are taken from Hank's Ramblings found here)

Yes, The DOJ recently compared homosexuality to incest and fuc& them for that. However, the DOJ is NOT Obama. Obama’s position on gay marriage has been consistent: On the federal level, against full marriage - for civil unions; Repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act and leave the states free to extend marriage rights if they so choose. It’s exactly the same position, by the way, that Hillary Clinton took, except she only called for the repeal of Section 3 of DOMA. The fact is, there’s very little a President can do on this issue. On the Federal level, the issue is entrenched. Even if Obama were in favor of full marriage equality, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party would not be enough to carry such a bill – and the 3/4 of states required would never ratify it. As the President has no jurisdiction over state initiatives, states will continue to do as they please, and the gay community must focus their marriage in state-by-state battles. The war over same-sex marriage will be won or lost in the Supreme Court.

Did you know that Obama's Administration has “four broad legislative goals,” on LGBT rights which include the extension of “hate crimes” to include those against gay and transgendered individuals, securing the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that prohibits gays from serving openly in the military, and repealing DOMA.

“The pledge and the promise is that, this will be done before the sun sets on this administration,” vowed Berry. “Our goal is to have this entire agenda accomplished and enacted into law so that it is secure.”

Most people aren't aware of this because the anti-Obama activist queer media won't print it. The Catholics will though.

Rushed legislation is easily overturned. Be patient, and you will have lasting, permanent, and almost impossible to overturn change. Trust me on this. For something as complicated and tough to push through as the LGBT agenda, 5 months is not long enough to make the irreversible changes that need to be made and to have the buy in of all the necessary players. Obama even changed Army Commanders to one who is cool with the over turn of DADT.

It's all coordinated, calm, and planned, unlike the emotional, rash, demanding people who should be mad at their fellow Californians and not the POTUS. Focus your anger correctly. Obama was never a gay marriage knight in shining armor and never said he would be. He is still on track to deliver all he said he would. Yes, 5 months is too quick to judge on something as complex as the LGBT agenda.

Queer activists are not even beginning to choose to comprehend how Washington works. If you know history, we got DADT because Clinton gave into activist queers about gays in the military and DADT was actually a fucked up consolation. Do you want another fucked up consolation because you won't be patient?

We will be victorious. I'd bet my 401k on it.

What HAS Obama done for LGBT people?
He has named openly gay John Berry as director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), making him the highest-ranking openly gay official ever. He appointed a lesbian, Nancy Sutley, as chairwoman of the Council on Environmental quality. He named a gay man to head the Export-Import Bank. The State Department promised to give partners of gay and lesbian diplomats benefits such as diplomatic passports and language training. In April, gay parents were invited for the FIRST time to bring their children to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Today, the Obama administration today announced extension of some benefits to the same-sex partners of federal employees - further steps are limited by the federal Defense of Marriage Act (oh the irony of it all).

Is this everything he promised? Certainly not! Is it more in five MONTHS than Bush did in eight YEARS? You bet! Is Obama even one-fourth done with his first term? Not even. Am I worried? At this point, not at all. Let's talk in a year.
