Some Say Obama Hasn’t Kept Promises
July 1, 2009 by James
President Obama will host a White House reception Monday in honor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month, but faces criticism for not keeping campaign promises to the community. 
President Obama signed same-sex benefits legislation earlier this month.
“I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans,” the president said in a proclamation this month. “These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy in a way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security.”
But critics say it’s too little, too late.
