Has he stopped opposing the use of constitutional amendments to discriminate against LGBT folks and same-sex relationships? Is he no longer in favor of the Congressional repeal of DOMA (which is not the same as invalidating DOMA through the courts)? Has he dropped his support for the Military Readiness Act?

There seems to be a lot of conflating the legal position the Obama Administration takes in defending statutes with whether the Obama Administration supports those laws as a policy matter.

You now have me breaking a core principle, I am following you, a lawyer, yes a lawyer, of my own volition, on Twitter. Heh. Are you honored?

But seriously, which of these promises has he kept?

Uh, what? Obama explicitly stated his opposition to Prop. 8. Could you find me something from McCain or Cheney that did the same? (http://www.sacbee.com/capitolandcalifornia/story/1051404.html — very first hit when you Google obama proposition 8, should you develop an interest in, like, research)

Or is your point that Republicans get graded on a curve based on where they started on this issue, and if they’re no longer wanting to throw homosexuals in prison, they deserve an A?

On the other hand I see people like Cheney and McCain going in the opposite direction. Becoming more opened minded and even allowing for gay marriage.

We have one side hardening their hearts towards us and another softening theirs.

And so I ask, aren’t homosexuals who support Obama are self-hating gays?

Also, how is Dick Cheney on the side of getting rid of DOMA? At most, he’s in favor of letting states decide for themselves whether to have SSM or ban it. That’s … exactly what DOMA allows.
