Go Fetch

Go Fetch

My partner and I have been together for forty years and were thrilled that Barack Obama was elected President over John McCain. Of course election night was bitter sweet since the California H8 and the Florida Amendment 2 poisoned our celebration.

I totally understand that there are a lot of things on the President’s plate. The war in Iraq, Afghanistan the nut case in Korea and the election in Iran, but sorry, that is part of the job. In the meantime our community is told to wait. Wait for Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and the Defense of Marriage to be rescinded, oh and by the way here is a bone to chew on, a “memorandum” blessing Federal employees only and only while Obama is in office, go fetch.

OK, so the President does not agree with “Gay Marriage” and apparently we now understand that he does not agree with equal rights for all GLBT Americans other than Federal Employees and only while he is in office.

OK, I get it now, it is not about the promise of “Hope” for everyone it is all about the promise of “Hope” for Obama, the politician.

So here is the thing I would suggest every GLBTA person do, and that is not give to either political party but only to “trusted” GLBTA organizations.

The Democratic Party and Barack Obama is failing us and we should no longer support those who participate in diminishing our dignity.
