I received this last week from President Obama, asking me for money to support his "blueprint for America's future". I'm ok with that, other than the fact that I don't see "change" happening. To me, it's business as usual, at least for the LGBT community. That is, we are still ignored and taken for granted.

Aside from the power of my vote, which I exercise and gave to this President, I also have power of my finances and where they go. I'm not a selfish person. Far from it. I am all for helping others. But for decades, my community has received nothing but breadcrumbs. Nothing substantial. I'm really really sick of it. So, this is my message that will be returned to the Democratic National Committee in the postage paid envelope.

I'm tired of being taken for granted. I hope they get the hint, and I hope that some statistic of that gets to President Obama, who has given LGBT folks not even lip service. Where are all those campaign promises he made to OUR COMMUNITY?
