At Netroots Nation, Mr. Integrity holds Mr. Politics accountable for ending DADT: Lt. Dan Choi calls out Senator Harry Reid

I find very disappointing the treatment of Lt. Dan Choi by this Administration and the Democrats. I can understand why they did not stall his discharge process indefinitely...if the GOP was facing a similar issue, they would have found a way.

Having said that, the GOP doesn't care about gay people, despite the many conservative queens on Capitol Hill and at the RNC. The GOP uses gay people to win elections by exploiting the fears of social conservatives and thinks nothing of the consequences in terms of the resulting discrimination, violence, and social alienation for LGBT. They simply don't care. The Democrats do care but, sadly, sometimes they don't have strength of their convictions. And that includes President Obama.
