1. Obama lied.

"When I am President of the United States, gays and lesbians will have somebody who will fight for equal rights for them -- because they are our brothers and they are our sisters."
- Barack Obama

2. Yes, Obama lied.

Thanks for reminding me of those words he spoke. The words he spoke that made me "hope."

3. Let's greet our "brothers and sisters" with silence and inaction.

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was...

6. Every time someone says that it pisses me off.

It trivializes our fight for equal rights. And yet I'm sure those same people will insist in other threads that they support us.

5. Sadly, That's All They Were--Words

Obama lied. For him to regain my respect, I have to see actions.

7. Technically correct.

I personally know dozens of great straight allies. There are more that I only know on the internet from other site and here, such as TwoAmericas and Mtnester, or at PHB, like Louise.

He never says there that he will be the somebody fighting for equal rights.
