The President issued a most amazing proclamation on 1 June, but when googled the first sentence, the only government site I could find it referenced is, strangely, NASA'sSo for your benefit, I publish the buried text here. Hooray for progress

Damn, that's cool. Mind if I link or repost?

Also, did you see his interview with the BBC? Nuance! Diplomatic argument! Recognition of diversity in the Muslim world and of the Muslim presence in America! Amazing stuff. I am still getting used to this 'president who can actually think' business.

Link away!

I just finished his book Dreams from My Father -- what a great read! I really recommend it.

It's on the White House web site as well:

Thanks! I knew it must be, but it's interesting that google didn't!

Hallelujah.

Finally.

I have to confess, I've been a little slow to get on the Obama train, but any political leader who gets behind LGBT equality (because let's face it, LGBT issues are generally at the very bottom of the diversity priority list) gets my wholehearted support.

I really really recommend his book. It made a total fangirl out of me.
