The White House Office of Media Affairs today held a briefing for LGBT media with Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council Melody Barnes.melody_barnes.jpg

The subject was the Obama Administration's activities around LGBT issues.

I was there representing The Bilerico Project. It was thrilling to travel to DC and go to the White House. We met in the Secretary of War suites. The walls were intricately carved and there were beautiful old portraits on the walls. The table was a gorgeous antique and our nameplates were set out on the table. I sat with some well known names in LGBT news. And with one of the President's top advisers. She is as beautiful as her picture and as intelligent as her reputation. I felt honored. I felt flattered. But I also remembered that I was there to do a job. Jobs aren't always pleasant.
