it occurred to me the other day that before Obama's presidential campaign hit those crucial late summer months, he had called DOMA (the defense of marriage act) "abhorrent" and seemed to be aware that the LGBT community actually mattered in this country. As of recent, he seems to have forgotten us. So, I decided to remind him.

Recently, it seems that all of my gay and lesbian friends have been asking, "Why is Obama ignoring the gays?" I've always felt compelled to defend the President, making the popular argument that federally legalizing same-sex marriage is both political suicide for a first term president and, perhaps, unconstitutional. I'm not as idealistic as many of my friends, and plus, the president has a lot on his plate right now.
