President Obama has made history with his appointment of 150 LBGT (lesbian, gay, transgender & gay) employees breaking former President Clinton's record of 140 appointees and more than the combined number of both Clinton and George W. Bush.  The appointments were celebrated by the LBGT groups, but fell short of their expectations.



In early 2008, the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute focused on its presidential appointment projects by steering thousands of resumes of qualified gay/lesbian candidates for White House jobs.  This well-executed plan worked by increasing the number of openly LBGT employees at the White House, along with President Obama being more receptive to this community than former presidents.
