You know it's about time that we get a president in there that isn't completey idoitic. With this change maybe there WILL be a change for gay, lesbian, bisexual (like myself) and transgender people. Who knows what will happen we can only watch and see! Hopefully, since he was elected by the people of this country, he'll change things for the better.

And I think its awesome that government has members of the gay community it may help our movement!

Team Obama relegates Bishop Robinson to sidelines

The utter naivete of thinking that one inclusive gay bishop would offset one intolerant evangeilcal extremist was shown yesterday. The Obama team, demonstrated again how very little it cares about gay lives and dignity and respect by putting Robinson's prayer so far ahead of the actual event that it was not covered on TV, and the sound did not even carry through the audience.

HBO says the Obama team told them the Robinson prayer was "pre-show". So it did not merit coverage,.

Is there a gay person left who believes that Obama can be trusted on gay issues?

Not me, that is for sure.

"Judgements"? Oh, PLEASE...

Openairpreacher --

When religion ruled the world they called it "the Dark Ages". I'll tell you what -- YOU don't pray in our public institutions and I won't think in your church. And remember, every time you see a rainbow, gawd is rejoicing over gay sex!

Finally, a reminder: gawd doesn't want gay folks in the Closet -- he wants his OWN people there!

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Matthew 6:5-6
