US President Barack Obama recently held a speech given to 3,000 activists of the Human Rights Campaign, the largest gay rights organization in the US, promising to improve gay rights.

In his speech, Obama made quite clear that he will abolish the discrimination of homosexual soldiers in the military (Don’t Ask Don’t Tell or DADT). Over the past 12 years, more than 10,000 men and women have been removed for same-sex attraction. He also said that he would try to remove a statute which defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman, known as the Defense of Marriage Act (DOM).

Nice words indeed, but it’s about time something happens. As of today it seems that Barack Obama has no priorities other than health care and the economy. Where is our “fierce advocate”?
