In the Internet age, the real proof that change has come to the White House can be seen by surfing over to WhiteHouse.gov. President Obama's new website is live and it is just as amazing and groundbreaking as his campaign website and the transition website. whitehousecivilrights.jpgThis is truly a new era in technology in government.

Another welcome change can be seen on one of the first pages I visited on the site - the section on Civil Rights. LGBT people are the main focus of the Administration's Civil Rights agenda. In fact, if you look at the the Agenda section of the WhiteHouse.gov site, the first issue is Civil Rights and LGBT people get the only sub-heading on the page.

Check it out after the jump - it's a pretty bold agenda and I am excited to work to see it happen. I'm not going to take time to parse each point, but go check it out and let me know your thoughts in the comments.
