Reply #848: I think I agree with most of what you wrote here

1. The President isn't a homophobe

2. Warren and McClurkin were about political expediency

3. The President has been the best one we've had so far for LGBT rights

4. Despite #3, he still have a long way to go, including (or especially) DoMA and ENDA, and it's therefore disappointing that more hasn't been accomplished

5. The anger toward President Obama is legitimate, although I am not as angry as some

Those points aside, and I say this in a friendly way, my sense of your postings the past couple days has been that they have been unnecessarily caustic at times. It is also true that some people who are openly critical of the President have been unnecessarily caustic--I alerted on two that suggested that people were saying what they were because they didn't like "fags" behaving as if they were equals. I guess I just believe we can all do better and try to move away from the binary thinking about "Obama supporters" vs LGBT DUers; it seems to me the repetitive haranguing or caustic commentary isn't the way for it to happen.
