One example of this is recent controversy over don't ask don't tell, another VERY obvious one is the issue of same-sex marriage legality.<br /><br />So, thank you Obama for supporting us with your words (this is HUGE, especially in a post-Bush America)... but we are still waiting for your actions. Some may say that myself and others like me who want more from Obama are asking too much. I think not. I think that if one is to speek a certain viewpoint it must always be supported by action and practice.<br /><br />What now, then?
