I wonder how they feel about being treated as political mascots.

Why is it fair that gays get to bypass the online system that everyone else uses? These tickets are very in demand and in previous years people would go camp out the night before to get them. Now they switched to an online system. Why should gays get special treatment?

I have noticed that Obama likes to control the press and keep people talking about things that do not matter so they will not talk about things that do matter. You might want to check and see what laws are being put through congress that he want to draw your attention away from. I have heard that many things are being railroaded through congress at this time.
