Gays, HRC And Obama

Things are getting testier. Aravosis:

Many of us have been worried that the Obama administration might be trying to Sista Souljah the gays (i.e., distance themselves from the gays to show just how independent, how "new Democrat," they really are). The irony is that the embattled lead gay groups, in order to survive in an increasingly angry post-Prop-8, and increasingly expectant post-MA-NH-VT-IA-ME-CT, world, may end up having to Sista Souljah Obama in order to regain credibility in the eyes of their own members.

I'm not so convinced the White House has made this decision, even though Rahm's Clintonian gay-aversion is well-known. But I am convinced that the White House needs to know that if it's only communicating with HRC, it's not communicating with the gay community.
