That's a disheartening homepage..

 

Surprising? Not at all.

 

LOL.
I was totally rooting for a blank page, but this is pretty grand itself. In the words of Karen Walker:
"It's funny because it's true."

 

I find it rather upsetting how his campaign was all about "change", and yet he plans not to change this which would really set him apart and show how different he is to the rest of the world.

 

Unfortunately I am not too surprised. Obama has so much on his plate that I had a feeling the LGBT issues would be put down on his list of priorities.

 

It should've just said "Thanks for the votes, suckers."

Agreed.

 

Okay, I hate to say this but what have YOU done for equality? Are you writing to the President? Are you writing to Congress? Stop giving this energy! Instead do something! We all thought once Obama was in office that all these things were just going to happen. They haven't happened....yet. We need to be in his face so much that he knows that we aren't going to wait any longer. Stop complaining and do something..........NOW!

He sure seemed to be able to multi-task during the campaign, and he sure slammed McCain for not being able to multi-task.

I knew Obama was too conservative for my tastes, but now that we're a few months in, I am shocked and pissed off about HOW conservative he really is. Seriously, given all that he's done since he's gotten into office regarding torture and Gitmo and some of the illegal presidental powers he's struggling to keep for himself, I'm beginning to think we might have done better with McCain.


As for this website, funny, but because it's sadly true.

 

He said he was going to do them. Not doing them makes him a liar. Sure we have to be vocal and visible, but chiding us for not doing enough is, in my opinion, misguided and unfair. We voted for Obama based on a certain set of expectations, and anger over his failure to deliver is completely valid as far as I'm concerned.

 

You seem to forget that before you all voted for him, he said he wasn't pro gay marriage. You voted for him, and you got stuck with him.

I knew that neither candidate was good in terms of gay rights as well, so I didn't really count their views on gay rights and instead focused on other issues.

I mean, what good is gay marriage when we have countries around the world who are developing nuclear weapons. Would you rather have more gay rights instead of bringing home the troops in Iraq who are getting killed every day? Would you rather go through a massive depression but have gay marriage legalized?

Ya, I tend to look at the other issues. Gay rights would be a plus, but things that threaten our safety should count a little, no?

 

^ Yeah not federal gay marriage, but he campaigned on lots of other gay rights issues.

The US has a MASSIVE government. The President likely has hundreds of thousands of people working for him. Congress has heaps of staffers and advisors etc. They can move forward with the gay rights policies that they promised to work for at the same time as worrying about Iraq, health care, nuclear weapons and other 'bigger' issues.

 

Well you may think its unfair but I'm tired of hearing people complain while they sit idly by and do nothing. In the time it takes to make a post here or on facebook complaining about everything, you could have written our President a letter.

 

Agreed. Can't be married if North Korea blows us all up, ya know?

 

Yeah, because you just HAVE to watch out for the president that WANTS America to be a shit hole.
No one wants war or depression, everyone has their own way to deal with it. It's not like some retard will just be thrown on the ballot for election.

 

Hell Yes Becky (*hug*)

 

I'm in the same boat as Becky. :icon_bigg
