President Obama, who has come under harsh criticism from gay rights advocates for not yet acting on many campaign promises on gay issues, Monday afternoon said that his administration has made some progress on behalf of gay Americans and plans to do more.
"I know that many in this room don't believe that progress has come fast enough, and I understand that," Mr. Obama said at a reception for LGBT Pride Month at the White House. "It's not for me to tell you to be patient anymore than it was for others to counsel patience to African-Americans who were petitioning for equal rights a half-century ago."
"But I say this: We have made progress," the president continued. "And we will make more. And I want you to know that I expect and hope to be judged not by words, not by promises I've made, but by the promises that my administration keeps."

The article is worth its weight in dead trees just for the comments. My fave:
Awwwwwwwww, really? Then why wasn't he a champion for Larry Sinclair, and the gay choir boy at his Muslim church that mysteriously was murdered?"

Black Americans generally don’t like it when their civil rights struggle is compared to the plight of gays. Not being a black American, Nobama wouldn’t know that.

“Why..Doncha know (Barack Obama) that homosexuality is incompatible with your “Christian” Faith..?”
Yes. That’s why he’s opposed to gay marriage—and said so repeatedly on the campaign trail.
To: pissant
If he is champion to gays, why he is married to a woman (if that’s true of course)?
