"MSNBC's Rachel Maddow: "Fierce Advocate" Obama Has A Gay Cocktail Party - Lots Of Promises, No Action - 06/29/09"

I felt very sad when I watched this tonight. I posted about it, but I deleted the post because praise for Obama on this issue seems to be the way things go here.

Fehrenbach has about 5 months, and he said change would not come fast enough for him.

Lt. Dan Choi gets his trial tomorrow.

I did not see this video as a positive, it did not give me warm feelings. I am not gay, but I can not imagine losing my pension if I were in that position.

Obama told him it was a "generational issue." Actually it is a religious right issue, and our party is scared to death of them. I am pretty old, and I disagree about the generational thing. The religious right succeeded in using this group as scapegoats, and there is no one in the administration speaking out strongly.

BTW Fehrenbach is gracious, he says he understands. But he is still losing his job and Choi still goes on trial tomorrow.
