Kerry Eleveld has a wide-ranging interview with Barack Obama, and he speaks frankly on several topics, including  the lack of engagement with the LGBT press, DADT, and which pro-LGBT policies he'd like to see move forward if he's our next president. A summary:

* On what he believes he can reasonably cross off our list first:
* DADT, because he thinks it's doable;
* ENDA - he's for trans inclusion, but doesn't know if the votes are there to pass it.
