Reply #16: There's an unfortunate history even before President Obama assumed office

During the campaign, he NEVER sat down voluntarily with the LGBT media. The only time I remember him submitting to an interview was when he seemingly reluctantly submitted to an interview with The Advocate following the furor in the gay community over the Donnie McClurkin thing.

This whole thing with the lack of interviews just feeds into the apprehension we have with this President on GLBT issues. I'm sorry, criticize it all you want, but that's the perception.
