Talk about efficiency. WhiteHouse.gov, the official site of the President, was updated to reflect the changeover from President George Bush to President Barack Obama within a few minutes of Obama's inauguration. Has anyone visited the site yet, and if so, have you seen The Agenda page? I have to say that I am impressed—it lays out Obama's civil rights agenda, which includes broad support for the LGBT community.

Among Obama's positions: He supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and believes anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity; and he supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples.
Additionally, Obama thinks we should repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, and he opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
He also wants to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy; ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals regardless of their sexual orientation; and develop a comprehensive national AIDS/HIV strategy.
This is all in writing! On the President's Web site!
What do you think of it, and do you believe he will accomplish all of his LGBT rights goals within his first term?

Feeling Sad Hearing Jet- Look what we've Done Short Ooooo, look what you've done. You've made a fool of everyone. Oh well, it seems like such fun until you loose what you have have won.

Such a Lonely day & Its mine

 You know it has always been my philosophy to celebrate Valentine's Day. I celebrate it every year even though I've only been coupled on a Valentine's Day once in my life. Today was weird. As I work today there were a lot of couples and a lot of people singles that is buying different things for tomorrow. I don't know maybe it's just the whole virus and lack of any social interaction but I got kind of sad about it. Guess I'll be all right. Just a momentary lapse. Happy about Valentine's Day and the fact that it is a celebration of love. What I really want is for it to be a day of Hope for those without a partner. I'm still working hard on my goals. I'm trying to work out exactly how to get this Tommy's show together. Also working hard on financial stuff. It is a process. As you can see I'm at least updating my blog. I don't have much to say. But the point is just to get something out there. It sucks that that nasty orange cheese doodle wi...

Feeling Sad Hearing Nothing I am not a poet, but just something Dancing man so full of grace. Song to sing, with a beautiful face. Long way from home, you made a life worked 60 hours, never took a wife Smiled when sad, smiled when glad Smiled with comfort when you made me mad Heart so big, ego so small And recently my friend, you heard the call. A good person like you is not fit for earth. Now you're with other Angels on their Turf. Move those hips, sing that song. Keep Heaven happy all day long. The memories of that I keep down here. And one day I 'll be there, just to be near. When you sing your song, and dance your dance. How I long for the day I will get that chance. To laugh and play and hold you near. See your smile and know there's nothing to fear. Down here you took things easy Did crazy things, and your jokes were pretty cheesy. You impacted my life with you just being you. And the now I cry with nothing else to do. Cry for the lost, though your memory is fresh. ...
