THE POTUS and the GLBTQ COMMUNITY

The following two quotes are clipped from The Huffington Post online 18 August 2009: ___________________________________________ OF INTEREST . . . "Despite Biden's efforts at a fundraiser last week, the event was still boycotted by some over the administration's inaction in repealing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. Further fanning the flames of the gay community's ire, a Department of Justice memo came out earlier this month, defending DOMA and in one instance comparing gay marriage to incest." OF NOTE . . . . . . . "White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said not to expect any announcements on the two controversial policies surrounding next week's event." OF COURSE . . . . POTUS Obama is concerned because the GLBTQ ire and dander is in an ever increasing uproar, possibly retreating from his corner of the political market arena. So, what else is new?
