Time will tell what happens & I do support Obama, but hope he & Congress are able to repeal DADT & put in protections for all GLBT people. Luckily, I believe he did approve legislation (and passed to my knowledge) that prevent GLBT from being fired bec. of their sexual orientation in federal employment positions. My home state passed a similar bill (in Ohio) that prevents termination of employment based on sexual orientation @ the state government level. In 2006, I did not think this would happen, but Ohio (for now anyway) has become a blue state w/ Democrat governor & Congress. Law was passed in 2009, I believe as he was inaugurated in Jan. 2009 (the OH governor).
