President Obama the man who believes that LGBT citizens should be “separate but equal” in terms of marriage and shouldn’t be allowed to openly serve in the military made an “It Gets Better” video to reach LGBT youth. Really? Buuuttttt…he doesn’t like us. You know how Kanye West was all like, George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people? Well Barak Obama doesn’t care about gay people. At least Bush didn’t pretend to care about anyone but his cronies, Obama needs to keep up this ridiculous facade that he is for LGBT rights. What a crock. Watch the video below where he says inspiring things like: “We have an obligation to ensure that our schools are safe for all of our kids,” and, “I don’t know what it’s like to be picked on for being gay. But I do know what it’s like to grow-up feeling that sometimes you don’t belong.”
Riiiight. Only he’s contributing to the anti-gay sentiment in the country by refusing to recognize LGBT citizens as equal. Watch the video below.

I can’t belive he actually could hold a straight” face as he said the following: ” As a nation we are founded on the belief that all of us are equal and each of us deserves the freedom to persue our own version of happiness.”
Really Mr. President??? Really?? Because the last time I checked, I live in exile because I am not equal under your laws, nor is my marriage to a foreigner of the same sex recognized by your government, even though that is my “freedom and my version of happiness”.

What kind of mixed message is he sending to the world?? What kind of message are they all sending out to the world. I mean, he blocks our advancemnet in equlaity at every turn with one excuse or another, and then we have Hillary Clinton constantly going on and on about how the rest of the world should treat gay people better and that she will fight for that all over the world. START WITH YOUR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY!!!!! I miss my life and my rights NOW, not 10 years from now!!! My freedom is NOT FOR SALE!!!!!!!

His video is an insult to our intelligence and our struggling GLBT youth. Words, words, words…nothing but words. Obama, How DARE you send that message immediately after acting in defense of DADT? Your words do not substantiate your actions.

If you want us to believe that it will get better, then stop spouting the words, and start acting now!
We can’t wait for changes in the future, we need them now!
