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.
