45. Hillary wasn't in charge when DOMA and DADT were
implemented.

And you really need to read up on why that all came to be.

At the time, we were looking at a flat out ban on gays in the military.

The Human Rights Campaign?

Yea, **some** terrible policies no doubt, but we don't have many other choices.

HRC sponored the candidate Q&A, and they do some good work despite Lieberman, et al.

I think it's good you let them know you were unhappy.

I've done the same.

And yea, both candidates are pretty much even in terms of gay issues, which is why I didn't vote for either in the California Primary.

I just happen to think what Obama did is worse than anything Hillary has done.

And I don't know why you don't desire an apology.

If it's related to civil liberties, there's nothing wrong with beating a dead horse -- if that's what you call this.

Martin Luther King, and other great civil rights leaders, got a lot accomplished by beating the proverbial dead horse.
