Obama can only tackle what he considers a priority, and this does not rank up there. period.

Gay rights issues pretty much only surfaced during the primary, which is why Obama said what he said. During the general, those were not made a key issue. This is why Obama hasn't done anything. He was placating part of his base during the primary and then avoided the issue during the general to avoid offending the for example 55% of Californians who voted down same sex marriage.

You guys are on the losing side in actuality. Look at the progress we've made in 20 years. Might as well get used to the idea of sharing marriage with us--at least your kids and grandkids need to have your help in getting them adjusted to the new culture.

DOMA, DADT, and no Federal ENDA, right off the top of my head. If you had done ANY kind of research on the topic before posting your comment, you would have seen how ridiculous it sounds. And if you were gay or lesbian, you would know how bad it feels. It was Obama himself who enthusiastically claimed that he could work on more that one issue at a time, including being a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. We will be holding his feet to the fire!

They have got to learn to write shorter stories about this subject. I haven got the time to read long stories and then discover that they are going in the wrong direction.

Well now - Golleee do I detect a another blatant hostility & attack mode surfacing from our lovely gay folk towards Our President, Our Country & The Straight People that are supposed to be paying for their Life Style??

Reminds me of the Gay activists showing their true colors following the Miss USA Pageant towards Carrie Prejean. If I am mistaken please do not hesitate to respond in the usual vicious diatribe and prove my point. So Sad!

I'm proud that Our President has the courage to stand up for DOMA. He's going to be a Great President.

The anger from gay rights advocates toward President Obama is starting to boil over.

The "boiling' is just the precursor to the eternal frying when the gays face the wrath of God.
============================

And religious arguments should have no place in determining state/federal benefits and protections based from domestic partnerships/marriage.
