Comments on: Obama’s Proclamation Praises LGBT Community Centers http://www.akawilliam.com/obamas-proclamation-praises-lgbt-community-centers/ All Kinds of Gay Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:00:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Matthew Rettenmundhttp://www.akawilliam.com/obamas-proclamation-praises-lgbt-community-centers/comment-page-1/#comment-12058 Matthew Rettenmund Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:32:54 +0000 http://www.akawilliam.com/?p=24724#comment-12058 This is kind of great and you're absolutely right that that day went by unnoticed by most. Gay people are so disproportionately angry with Obama it's now embarrassing to me; it's taken on a weird vibe like he's a cheating husband or something. He hasn't changed the world in 8 months. Could he have stopped DADT expulsions? Yes, I'm with you—he should have. Was the DOMA brief disgusting? Yes, though it wasn't his personal diary and in no way can it be rationally argued that that brief reflected his beliefs more than it reflected a huge misstep as he was learning how to govern. But more and more, I've begun to think that gay people are just going to scream bloody murder until we get all our civil rights...and then vote Republican from there on out. Maybe not, but I'm so fed up wit the scorched-earth, politically unsavvy reactions. This is kind of great and you’re absolutely right that that day went by unnoticed by most.
