Obama updated his transition website to include these specific rights for GLBT people:
1. Expand Hate Crimes Statutes
2. Fight Workplace Discrimination (ENDA)
3. Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples (repeal DOMA)
4. Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage
5. Repeal Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell
6. Expand Adoption Rights
7/ Promote AIDS Prevention
Yes. We. Can.
And will.
I know promises are often not kept by politicians, I also know that Obama won’t do everything promised (either because promises are made cynically or because there is sincere opposition later), but _I_ will do everything in my power that each of these above happens. I will do EVERYTHING I can to make sure that the FotF, FRC, AFA and CFWA are called out on their fear and hate-mongering that they will surely do. Luckily Dobson’s Focus on the Family had to just cut it’s staff by 20%. They should be reduced to 0 because of their fear and hate-mongering.

About The Author
the passing of prop 8 really ignited a fire and determination in you, didn’t it, trey?
any of your friends in your area similarly stoked, i wonder?
It definitely has.
And yes, it has stoked a few friends, many of them. Some who I never thought to be activist much less stoked.
This really was a big mistake on the part of the forces of inequality. They awoke a lot of people.
