Yep, I'm cautiously optimistic on this. Obama's big with words, poor with action. This memo, as worded, can only be enforced by the federal government - even if the regulations asked for are actually enacted. That means if a hospital keeps me in the waiting room while my boyfriend chokes to death on his own blood, there's nothing I can do about it.
Plus, oh I such a cynic, Obama's making an appearing Monday here in L.A. to promote Barbara Boxer's reelection campaign - and there's a big protest planned for his inaction on "fierce advocate" gay rights.
With ENDA and DADT before Congress right now, and nothing but words from the president on either so far ... this might just be another Easter Egg roll to mollify the queers.
I will wait and see.
But it's nice, as far as it goes.
