You offered no arguments why Obama would not be a homophobe/ surrounded by homophobes, except an unsubstantiated doubt. Let's just put it this way: there is a decidedly homophobic streak in this administration. That bone-headed bigotry is at the very least way too close to the president.

GLBT people are treated with contempt by this administration, and Ms Jarett had made it too clear. She should go. The president deserves a better adviser - especially when he needs to reconnect to his base.

Good heavens, I consider myself a moderate conservative and I'm spewing all but outright hatred at that hatefull Jarett. Why would the president want to be advised on his relation with the GLBT community by someone to the right of me? Let him be sensible and dismiss that source of hatred.
