SocraticGadfly: Obama discovers gay rights!

April 15, 2010

Obama discovers gay rights!

At least, for lovers and partners of people sick in hospitals, he's actually discovered civil rights.

More of Obama's thoughts at the link. Maybe he'll discover DADT repeal next.

At the same time, Sully has half a point on Obama's move being a special interest group sop, at least in part. But, no, Andrew, it's not a full point, either.

Halfway agree with Sully. Not totally, but halfway.

Obama's call to action will have no effect on state laws that allow barring of domestic partners. It does nothing about DADT. It says nothing about Obama's attitude toward gay civil unions, let alone gay marriage.
