For all of you Donkeys out there,"hee-haw", you are probably wondering the same thing I am...why hasn't Barack Obama spoke up or stepped up to the plate for the LGBT community yet?

He glowed tremendously in his campaign, stating that he is an advocate for gays and lesbians and for equal rights. He bragged, "If you help me, I will help you!" He spoke the words of a new type of freedom, a freedom that would surpass the denied rights of love and happiness for the LGBT community. So, what is the matter? Why haven't we seen Mr. Obama (our first black president who has the same and possibly better abilities as the former white presidents) out there standing up and speaking for us and our families?

Yes, we understand that he cannot pass a country wide law that equal rights are of an essence...that would be wonderful! But, he can try and help push each state just a bit more by making himself available for equality rallies and pride events to ensure and hopefully persuade state leaders that THE TIME IS NOW for equality. THE TIME IS NOW for same-sex marriage. THE TIME IS NOW to be able to love freely and to have that love recognized so that we too (the LGBT community) can feel a part of this "whole" that we are living in.

So, Mr. President, I say to you...Your time was then. You won because we fought for you! Our time is NOW, so please fight and help us win just as you have! Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgenders want more than ever to re-write history just as you have, Mr. Obama!
