The List!!! With A Twist: Republicans are pissed!
Throughout the Obama presidency, one of the most vocal and demanding factions in the Democratic Party base has been activists for gay and lesbian equality. They repeatedly protested at Obama events and even at the White House, complained loudly about Obamas broken promises, and even threatened to boycott Obamas re-election campaign by withholding donations. In light of that ongoing confrontationalism, as well as the importance of gay voters (and especially gay donors) to the Democratic Party, its no surprise that their agenda has been repeatedly attended to by Obama, as he engineered the successful repeal of Dont Ask/Dont Tell, ordered his DOJ to stop defending the constitutionality of DOMA, and then finally evolved to an Election-Year endorsement of same-sex marriage.
