We honestly can’t talk about the stupidity of the LGBTQ community anymore.
The link above does that for us. You remember last year we tried for three weeks to get then-Candidate Utopia to march in his first-ever Gay Pride Parade here in Chicago (since he was the only Illinois politician of note to have NEVER, not once in his life, marched in a Pride Parade). Instead of marching for LGBTQ rights, Candidate Utopia got his haircut on the south side and played basketball at the East Bank Club downtown, before taking a very long steam and sauna with a bunch of very rich, very old, very naked white men.
That tells you more than you will ever need to know about what Dr. Utopia thinks of the LGBTQ community (and also conjures an inescapable and grotesque vision of sweaty raisins).
Senator Roland Burris is marching in the Chicago Pride Parade this year — so it’s not that a black politician doesn’t want to support LGBTQ rights. It’s that Dr. Utopia has, deliberately, at every turn always chosen to distance himself from the LGBTQ community as much as possible.
You can speculate as to the reason why, as many here in Chicago often do when their anger over Dr. Utopia’s lies about DOMA and DADT bubble to the surface.
And speaking of bubbles, more often than not these conversations, especially with older Chicagoans, often turn to a place called Man’s Country on Clark up in Andersonville — and what people remember about some skinny young guy who used to go there a lot in the 90s, telling people he’d meet in the dark that he was a state representative.
It’s funny how here in Chicago, the more people realize they were duped (through their own stupid fault) by the lies Dr. Utopia told the LGBTQ community, the more often you hear Man’s Country stories in almost the same breathe.
Kind of like how “Hope!” and “Change!” always seem to go together.
Or “lies” and anything at all related to “the LGBTQ community” when it comes to this White House.

HB- as ever, outstanding post and a very interesting link. Obama crapping all over his vague and vaporous campaign promises- who’d have ever thought such a thing?
And speaking of links- you have any that might address the Mans Country/Obama topic a little more robustly than you’ve done on this blog? You can send them to my email if you’d like if you don’t care to fight any legal actions by the axeltoad army.
Also, you guys make it up to Midsommarfest last weekend? Good times were had by people of all size, type, sex and orientation.

It should be very apparent to any cognizant being that Barack Obama is a Convenientist. That is, he will say whatever is Convenient on any given day in order to proffer support amongst any given audience.
He will never be consistent. He will never be honest with his words. And he will throw anyone or any cause under the bus if he feels it will benefit him and his career.

I wonder what the DNC will do without gay donors. Money is green regardless of who you are attracted to.

But swooping in to save the day, the Obama team is going to announce benefits for same sex couples….just in time to quell the uprising bubbling up from gay supporters.

Saw that- but isn’t this only for government employees?

Whoopsie, here’s an excerpt from a politico article about obama’s magnanimous gesture:
“However, the Defense of Marriage Act prohibits the federal government from extending health and retirement benefits to same-sex couples, so the benefits are more likely to be marginal — like relocation assistance.”
So in the end, as usual, barack’s nonsense is much sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Read a pretty scathing piece on the Daily Kos today about how the ONE has basically ignored the GLBT community. Found a few comments about how they could never have supported Hillary because she abandoned them or something. Can you advise as to what they are talking about? It could not possibly compare to the shafting they are getting from Dr. Utopia.

Bahahahah! Now that was just plain awful. I shall now spend the rest of the day scrubbing my eyeballs out.

not enough. he has got to make the moves to repeal DADT, demonstrate a
commited support for the gay community, and lecture the black community on
the hypocisy of their position. But, he won’t. Obama is a narcisitic
opportunist. He has become adept at rolling people who once vigorously
supported him under the bus as deftly as he mastered bowling. The left has
now filled emergency rooms with gobs of stunned supporters with tire tracks
down their backs.

FYI, gay rights people who are unhappy with Dr. Utopia are now denounced by MSM as “far left” activists:
