Reply #123: Looking at all of your MAJOR impacts and your FIRST STEPS [View All]

(which I think are very important), IMPORTANT, and BIG FUCKING DEAL's, Obama has certainly done more for the LGBT community than any other President. And the fact that so many of them can be undone by a Repuke President simply points out how important it is that we don't allow another Repuke in office - at least until these policies become entrenched. I also have to disagree that many of the policies that only affect Fed employees have "minimal" impact. Many private policies follow Government employee policies, so the true impact of these policies are currently unknown.

Overall, I appreciate the hard work that you put into this insightful and impartial analysis. I think that it actually reinforces the importance of "teh list" rather than hurts it. Even if many of those items you "debunk" are taken off, it's still quite an impressive list!

EDIT TO ADD: Also, I think this analysis also emphasizes the importance of pushing legislation, so we should work not only to re-elect Obama but to take back the House and get a REAL 60 vote filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Full disclosure: I am hetero, but I support civil rights for ALL.
