Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far.

LOL. I'm saving you a seat beside me in Hell.

ReplyDeleteYep, that be true. People are weird that way with the imbalanced perception of Jesus divine yet mortal, they don't want to think about the specifics of it. Not that I blame them, really, I don't like thinking about the "unholy odors" of people I know now even and I wouldn't consider most of them divine even.
ReplyDeleteFor sure indeed. Makes me going three days without deodorant seem like nothing at all.
