150,000 people marched on Washington. Like the rest of the world, people in the march say he has the right words, but Obama says, "I'm with you". Participants say it's time for him to put his money where his mouth is, and Obama says, "but we've made progress".
I don't get it yet. On the one hand you have these upset conservatives that know body is talking about, sitting around waiting on the next Obamaism to disrupt their safety bubble, and on the there hand you have these gay rights activist complaining about how much isn't getting done. Why, why, why?

If I have to be that somebody I will. Atleast for now, or until Congress says its okay to let gay men use the same restroom as little girls. Will it happen? Hey, why not?
