Obama's promises to the gay lobby

The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. "By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all."

On October 10 the president gave this speech to the HRC which included:

My expectation is that when you look back on these years, you will see a time in which we put a stop to discrimination against gays and lesbians -- whether in the office or on the battlefield. (Applause.) You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman. (Applause.) You will see a nation that's valuing and cherishing these families as we build a more perfect union -- a union in which gay Americans are an important part. I am committed to these goals. And my administration will continue fighting to achieve them.

Of course, he’s flipped, flopped, and bamboozled the American public before resulting in the biggest loss in approval numbers in the briefest time of any president. I don't know why the GLBTs should have any more faith in him than Christians, business people, insurance salesmen, auto dealers, bankers, home owners, newscasters or anyone else he's lied to and absconded with their wealth and freedoms. Of any group in the U.S. in danger from his cozy relationship with Muslims, it would be this community.
