What really concerns me are the millions of homeless LGBT youth being exploited on the streets. I suppose now they can join the military and be sent to kill village children in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya... but many of them don't want to and couldn't fit in with that culture anyway. It is this very funneling of all our economic resources to the pentagon that leaves socially marginalized people like those homeless queer kids and so many in the trans community to rot while Obama chooses of his own accord to vastly expand and increase the war on terror beyond what GWB ever did. They won't be saved if someday DOMA is repealed (it hasn't been yet, so I don't think it's time to celebrate; unless you also credit Obama with closing Guantanamo bay and ending the war in Iraq, lol), and they are unaffected by DADT. So personally, I prefer a broader view of gay politics that includes the downtrodden people unlikely to win or be invited to a democratic party fundraiser where politicians raise their glasses to wall street again and again while we go without housing, healthcare, affordable college education, living wage jobs... It matters that much to me, and there are platforms that promise a higher degree of gay rights than Obama and other mainstream democrats are willing to do.
