Well, let's just start this round up of the negative postings on the news of Amanda Simpson's appointment as a Senior Technical Advisor at the Department Of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security.

Peter LaBarbera (Americans For Truth About Homosexuality) and Matt "Bam-Bam" Barber (Liberty Counsel) both commented for CitizenLink, the "news" and political activism arm of Focus On The Family, in the piece entitled President Appoints 'Transgendered' Individual to Federal Post:

    "Is there going to be a transgender quota now in the Obama administration?" asked Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth.  "How far does this politics of gay and transgender activism go? Clearly this is an administration that is pandering to the gay lobby."

Yeah, and Bush II never pandered to the Xian right who helped him get elected.  Right. Elections have consequences kids.  Deal with it.

I don't know why I read these stories.  When is America going to wake up that America is for all Americans, not just the homophobic, transphobic Right.

Kinda wish this administration would pander a little more; pass ENDA, repeal DOMA and DADT....

What IS up with ENDA? It was in the news for awhile, then kinda dropped off the radar. Is the T in it?

Umm, you people do know that the President doesn't actually make or pass laws don't you?
