Although Barack Obama has not been President more than a few weeks, I see a pattern emerging. He is not willing to take a strong leadership role to take a stand for LGBT Americans.
Here is the latest: No openly-gay Americans were appointed to Cabinet-level positions, though openly anti-gay person with only a horrible LGBT voting record was selected, Senator Judd Gregg.

By ignoring Gregg's horrible record on gay civil rights, he's in part excusing it and condoning it. And that's not the kind of change we need.
Update: Gregg has since rejected Obama's invitation, citing differences with his economic policies. Let's hope Obama puts forward a better choice.
