Comments on: Obama’s LGBT Civil Rights Agenda http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2008/11/18/6736 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:03:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: TxWhtBoy http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2008/11/18/6736/comment-page-1#comment-27868 TxWhtBoy Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:37:59 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=6736#comment-27868 I don't mean to be cynical but you have to admit in this day and time its hard not to be. So, I all see printed is yada, yada, yada, its all been said before. The advisors and people the President-Elect has selected so far should be enough ice water in the face of his hardcore supporters. If leaving Robert Gates in the Pentagon just because he is "better than Rumsfeld" wasn't you guys 1st reality check, just wait. Obama’s chief military advisor, Retired General Merrill McPeak, who as reported on this blog, is less than embrasive of GLBT American's desire to serve and Admiral Mike Mullen's "pragmatic" ie. let's not rock the boat until we know for sure we have reached calm waters, doesn't sound like the "change" we plan to have. I hope I am wrong. I don’t mean to be cynical but you have to admit in this day and time its hard not to be.

Thank you, this brought up my day. Would have been nice for gay marriage to be there as well, but, all considered, that’s a very good list. Thank you, this brought up my day.
