MSNBC: Sirius XM's Michelangelo Signorile Discussing Gay Anger at President Obama

I appeared on Carlos Watson's show on MSNBC, with Nation editor Katrina vanden Huevel and Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart (openly gay member of editorial page) to discuss the Obama administration's response on LGBT rights and the anger among many activists.

B.Obama's Health Care Proposal... Do you support this administration law?? Come to my you tube channel and Discover exactly why Americas thoughts are needed !!

In 2009, why should I expect anything to be any different. LOL - now I know why some people turn on their TV's to watch sports, movies, soap operas, etc. as opposed to the news. :) I've become a man.

[ChdPllps320]

I completely agree with you - lol. I'm 23 and I was NEVER aware of or interested in politics (other than Clinton's BJ in the WH) until '03 when we invaded Iraq. I'm starting to believe that I've been overthinking/overanalyzing everything from the get go - @ the end of the day they're just politicians - Democrat or Republican, politicians will always be associated with words like sleazy, two-faced, deceitful, corrupt - just as leaders and governments have been since the beginning of time.

I know I'm gonna be hated-on for saying this: but you're NOT going to see all that many differences between the Obama admin, and the Bush43 admin

They both spend like drunken sailors, and both used the respective fringes of their parties to get elected-- then ditched the idea of doing much to appease them

Abortion was still legal under Bush. DADT/DOMA is still legal under Obama. Bush failed to change SocialSec, Obama's probably going to fail to change healthcare.

Nothing new here folks.

So pathetic.

You have a pulpit and yet you won't use it.

Speak out loud against what Obama is NOT doing.

Stop kissing his ass.

Being gay is not similar to incest.

[PeterOrszagCallMe]

So well done Michelangelo (and Katrina is also wicked smart).

[ChdPllps320]

... why not a stop-loss order to prevent any further military discharges under DADT?? I think Barack Obama's behavior (in regards to gay rights) is a saddening, shamefull, disgusting and offensive contradiction to the "unifying, monumental victory in the history of civil rights in America" that so many perceive the election of the nations first black president to be (Remember Oprah and Jessie Jackson sobbing in Grand Park in Chicago?) "Change has come to America"

1:16 - Michelangelo, I LOVE YOU - you're a hero! You really hit the nail on the head -"It's been about one more than anything else." We DO understand his presidency is young, he's facing the worst recession since the Depression, he's trying to reform health care... but in the midst of all that chaos, he's had plenty of time to hastily push forth a number of extra-carricular issues (if you will...) such as stem-cell research, closing Gitmo, cyber czars, and what not w/ a mere flick of his pen...

good interview. the administration needs to keep being hammered on the issue of gay rights. they are a cold shoulder that has to warm up.
