In his time as Americas president, Barack Obama appointed the biggest number of gays.
In less than two years since his election, Barack Obama appointed more gays and lesbians than any other president.
The closest rival to Obama is Bill Clinton, with 140 appointed gays and lesbians ten less than Obama. While his cabinet does not include any openly gays or lesbians, in other official functions like policy officials, advisors, commission members, and other high-level staff, more than 150 openly gays and lesbians are known.
Obama wanted his Oval Office to get a new touch, and designer Michael Smith did his best.
At the moment, design enthusiasts are blogging about the new look of the Oval Office.
President Obama appointed the gay designer Michael Smith to the Committee for the Preservation of the White House in February, with the order to give the Oval Office a modern touch. Michael Smith allready has been featured in Architectural Digest and Elle Decor.

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”?
