Steve Hildebrand is in a unique position to assess DADT, DOMA and the current state of LGBT civil equality in America.

For years, members of DU's LGBT community have been saying what Hildebrand is now speaking about publicly. As Deputy Director of Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, his credibility on contemporary LGBT issues is unquestionable.

I'm awake and smelling the coffee. Are you?

1. Very powerful argument
since Obama says we need health care reform RIGHT NOW (which I agree with) since we have been trying to reform it for 40+ years.

2. It Is Simply Evil To Allow People To Be Oppressed When It Is Within Your Power To Free Them
That's just the way it is. No excuses.
