President Barack Obama may have made a slow start on gay rights issues, but by the end of his first term his record was such that a news magazine dubbed him the nation's "first gay president." Now activists want more.
Fresh from historic Supreme Court arguments over same-sex unions, advocates want Obama to use his executive powers to fight discrimination at businesses, schools, and military bases and stop waiting for action from a reluctant Congress.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule in June on big issues: the constitutional right to gay marriage and the right of gay married couples to federal benefits. Both are backed by Obama.
Now gay rights groups are pushing for additional measures they believe are key elements for cementing equality.
First on their wish list is an executive order from Obama barring federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation, an act that could have sweeping impact.
"There is more that he can do," said Jon Davidson, legal director at Lambda Legal, a non-profit organization supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

Well of course the LGBT community can out on 0; he’s one of them. Moochie must not care because of all the $$$$$$ she has access to steal from the people.

Offsetting the very real and negative second half of a sentence with an imaginary positive first half is classic propaganda technique.
This is good news for us. We need to put the Freedom of Association front and center.
The Left has stolen the knowledge of this issue with the ‘64 Civil Rights Act, ADA and now in pushing homosexuality on all Americans.
Freedom of Association, which includes the right to discriminate, is a natural and unalienable right. It was government that created Jim Crow, Democrat government.
The rule of law is so 20th century. It’s time to move into the convenience of an absolute dictatorship, where so long as our guy is giving the orders, it’s only the other guy whose fundamental human rights and freedom are trampled or whose property and perhaps life are taken for our convenience. What could go wrong with that plan?
Figures....this is from Reuters.
