So the Republicans successfully filibustered the Defense authorization bill.It's not surprising given the full court press that we didn't hear coming from the White House.
When one considers the fact that the Obama Department of Justice submitted a legal brief equating homosexuality with incest, his administration defied a judges order to provide health benefits for a same sex spouse, and his campaign had an anti gay bigot front a campaign concert, one begins to wonder whether is inaction on DADT is more than cowardice, or whether he actually has a problem with "th ghay".
To paraphrase Kanye West, I'm beginning to wonder if "Barack Obama doesn't care about gay people," because it's clear that the Obama administration antipathy to being seen as pro-LGBT at this point is both bad politics, it loses votes, and bad policy.
