That was my take. Obama (& the Dems) pandering to the LBGT community and their supporters.
Just as Clinton was the “first black president” Obama is the “first LGBTQxndjdhejskdhdbdjdkdns” president
The only group Obama did not screw over was the LGBT community. it is the only group that years from now will be talking positively about what he did. Chelsey Manning is just Obama pandering.
