Your rhetoric is wrong. Find allies, and support them, and accept their support in turn. Being impatient and trying to force the president to abuse his powers, is a HUGE mistake that drives a wedge between YOU (annoying gays) and ME (straight people who view ourselves as the center of the universe).

You can't win this by making your friends into your enemies. Obama is giving you a HUGE FUCKING TARGET and, instead of fighting to change the laws, you're aiming at HIM, and undermining his ability to exert his political pressure, by complaining that HE WON'T ABUSE HIS POWER.

Look Dan, it's hard to admit your wrong, so don't do it. Just shut up about the President for a minute, and start organizing. You won't get another opportunity like this. If you can't form a movement that is readily willing and active to make a change, you will fail.

Attacking the President will not get you what you want. Building support from the ground up is harder, but I think you're up for it. Stop wasting time.
