"Today, thousands of people marched on Washington to demand LGBT equality. Last night, President Obama told LGBT Americans that his commitment to ending discrimination in the military, in the workplace and for loving couples and their families is "unwavering". He made it crystal clear that he is our strongest ally in this fight and encourages our activism and our voice even when we're impatient with the pace of change."
Courtesy of the Human Rights Campaign, US President Obama's words, as spoken at the podium at HRC's National Dinner to talk directly to the GLBT community, are very encouraging. Joe Solmonese, President of HRC, reports, "we heard unequivocally about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell: 'I am working with the Pentagon, its leadership and members of the House and Senate to end this policy. I will end Don't Ask, Don't Tell. That is my commitment to you.'" He adds, "Finally, we heard something quite remarkable from the President: 'You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men and two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman.' It was an historic night when we felt the full embrace and commitment of the President of the United States. It's simply unprecedented."
