NOTE: Originally this post was the focus of a website Alex Garcia and I were going to launch tomorrow. We even have the site built! We wanted to publish an open letter to President-Elect Obama with the LGBT community's expectations of his presidency; we didn't want him to forget about us. The site would have allowed folks to write their own letter to Obama's transition team and upload their YouTube videos for video letters to Obama.
After the Seven Weeks for Equality missive was released over the weekend and Obama's website was updated with a comprehensive LGBT civil rights agenda today, it seemed rather silly to duplicate the efforts. Instead we decided to stand down and keep an eye on how things progressed. I'm interested though... How many of you would have been willing to sign onto the open letter?
