Our President supports equality but with limitations. If you're gay, you know what I mean.
I haven't seen a damn thing he's done to better our fight against the laws that keep us from openly serving in the military, happily marrying as lovers do, and freely living under the care and protection of all the laws that benefit the average straight person. Obama has spoken in support of gays, but actions speak louder than words. We all know that. It's what one does that gets the message across and not just what one says.
Obama declares, "there is a whole world waiting for you, filled with possibilities."
But that's not true because we don't have a whole world waiting for us. Too many in this world don't want us. Half of America doesn't even want us! And yes, although there are a great deal of possibilities that await, the important ones right outside our backyards are well beyond our reach.
It's common knowledge that Obama has not acted on the promises he made to the gay community during his campaign. I think most of us are angry because we expected so much from him. I feel let down and I'm so scared. Will I ever see the day when I'll benefit from every single law that benefits the straight community? I hope. Am I optimistic? Unfortunately, no I am not.
Here's Obama's message to our gay youth, who suffer and face moments of inferiority because we live in a world that isn't truly loving. His message is clear but there's a slice of hypocrisy and insincerity, in my opinion.
Do you, Barack Obama, really love us?

You know, I was a big proponent of Obama during the election. But lately, I've been feeling the same as you. Actions speak very louder than words. It will become very apparent in the upcoming elections next week how people feel about our current government. Shaking my head to the max.
