he would do away with DADT and he would eliminate DOMA. No fancy words to maybe go back later as though we misunderstood him - very plain, very simple words were used. At least until the election. Do I expect miracles overnight? Nope.

But some indication that anyone was even working on either of these would be nice - everything that the WH has said so far is that they really aren't a priority. And to many people in this country, they aren't a priority. But to those of us affected - we've been here before.

Well, to those of us who've listened to the fancy promises during the fundraisers and when they needed to get out the vote - only to get put on the back burner time and time and time again - we're sick of being sent to the rear until the next election cycle.

Am I happy with some things he's doing? Yes. Will I ever be 100% happy with everything he's doing? Nope, and no one else will be either.

But I'm ready to see a little progress on the change I can believe in.
