Hillary Stands Firmly On Our Side, Unlike....Her Boss

Today we see two stark differences. First, we see President Obama asking for a reversal of Judge Phillips' order to stop DADT. By contrast, we see Secretary of State Hillary Clinton releasing this thoughtful anti-bullying video message to gay teens. She is truly and courageously leading, and making clear to LGBT people that they are worthy and that in HER department and in the future, they can be open and valued for who they are.

It just has to make you wonder.... would SHE have fought against DADT? I don't think so.



Thanks, Hillary. We always had faith that your promises would be backed up by your actions.
The same cannot be said, unfortunately, about your former opponent and current boss.

Obama could have done a video like this. He could have said that things really changed for African Americans and that things will also change for LGBT people. He could have let the judge's ruling stand instead of fighting so actively (and destructively) against it.

In this article, we learn that Obama's administration says it would be "enormously disruptive" to make this change now? REALLY, Obama? Is that more disruptive than releasing HUNDREDS of servicepeople (428 in 2009 alone) who are loyally serving their countries? Imagine the disruption that a discharge can cause not just for that person but their unit and the morale in that unit -- knowing their colleague was dismissed because the country for whom they are fighting will not fight for them.

At least Hillary is fighting for us, doing what she can. Thanks again, Hillary. You are a true leader.
