FINALLY!!!! Obama makes promises to start making good on his promises (does that make sense) in a speech to the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) in Washington D.C. last night. Obama said he would work to lift the ban on gays serving OPENLY in the military, work to ban discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation, and to give same-sex co0uples the same rights as straight couples. Acknowledging that many in the community are growing impatient with his seeming lack of effort, he also encouraged activists to keep pushing him and congress for change. Thousands of members of the LBGTQ community and our supporters are expected to march on the nations capital this weekend in support of equality. I was unable to attend because of my prior commitment to see Kylie here in the City this weekend, but I figure going to Kylie is almost the same thing, right? It may be gayer!! But in all seriousness, I am sad I couldn't make it, but I do give to the HRC and all their important work and my heart and support goes out to my brothers and sisters marching for our rights. Never give up the fight for equality!!! [source][picture source]
