Problem is, the LGBT community can't rely solely on the states for the rights they want.

Like citizenship through marriage. And joint filing of federal taxes. States can't do that.


What has the President done for them other than endorsing gay marriage which means nothing and don't ask don't tell which is a big step forward but doesn't address any of the problems you brought up.
