Within five minutes of Obama's swearing-in, a heavily detailed list of eight promises to us were posted: repeal DADT, support ENDA, expand adoption rights, etc. There's no mention of DADT or adoption rights or HIV prevention anymore, here's the two sentences that remain:
President Obama also continues to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. He supports full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples and opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.Compare what's there now with what was there on Inauguration Day.
You can call or write the President - "committed to creating the most open and accessible administration in American history" - at the White House website.
P.S. - Let's hope this was just an oversight by some silly aide - like that AF1 flyby scare in New York a few days ago. Obama I have a lot of faith in; his aides, not so much.
