Expanding on one of pohnpei's points, there was an event yesterday where President Obama was in California attending a fundraiser/rally for Senator Barbara Boxer, a Democrat who is up for re-election, and some people in the crowd started yelling at the stage to repeal the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy against gays openly serving as homosexuals in the military.
The gay rights movement campaigned for Obama, but also made him promise to repeal the policy once in the White House, which he did. He has already relaxed the enforcement of the policy, and this group was asking them to do more.
