I think I need a vomit bag. The Liar-in-Chief, the man who is doing all he can to retain DADT in the courts and who has thrown LGBT Americans under the bus repeatedly (and I would argue backed it up a couple of times to run us over again) has recorded a message in the "It Get's Better" project. It truly is enough to make one want to vomit. More words that are 180 degrees the opposite of the man's actions. I can only assume that the Liar-in-Chief must be really worried about the LGBT voter turn out or that he's ticked that Hillary one upped him by wearing purple this past Wednesday. What else could have made him stoop to this sleazy ploy other than an effort to dupe our community to voting for his lame fellow Democrats? Mr. Obama, your actions tell us what you really think about the LGBT community and gay teens. Andy Towle sums up the situation nicely:
*
President Obama, as long as the actions of your administration continue to tell LGBT people that they are less than equal citizens, that they do not deserve to marry the person that they love, that they do not deserve to serve openly in the U.S. military, that they can still be fired from jobs because of who they are, how can you promise these kids that "it gets better?"
*
Every day that DADT and DOMA remain the law of the land gay teens are given a powerful message that it doesn't get better. Indeed, each set back of the end of DADT may well be the straw that puts some member of the LGBT community over the edge where they give up on hope for the change Obama promised but has totally failed to deliver. NOTE: I have NOT put the video of the Liar-in-Chief in this post because I do not want to give the bastard a platform for his lies.
