When Obama becomes the president he will be the BIGGEST gay advocate ever!

Well, that is something you read often on DU these days.

Notably from the crowd who argue that Obama is not the president yet, let him take office and then judge him. :rofl:

1. Who is his competition at least in the oval office?

Of those who manage to get elected president he has a very low hurdle and will likely exceed past presidents as well as a McCain Palin ticket.

2. He'll be as supportive as he can be, without making himself unelectable

I do think DADT is on its way out...

3. he will do more than any President in our History, that's for sure

and he certainly won't be passing any DOMAs

4. I doubt he will do much of anything for or against.

9. Why not? He has before.

Despite his stance for civil unions instead of gay marriage, he does have a record of sponsoring a gay rights bill in Illinois and has always been for advancing equality. If we get to the point in the next 4-8 years when gay marriage can become the law of the land I don't think Obama will be the one standing in the way of it.

8. You're probably right.

Sadly, that won't take much. But I expect he will be the most pro-gay rights President we've had up to this point.

5. If he advocates for us with the same enthusiasm he fundraised from us, it will

be a good thing.

6. Bigger than Big Gay AL???

7. I'm beginning to think that hypocrisy, ignorance and irony deficiency

are symptomatic of a plague that infects nearly all Americans.
