President Barack Obama is headlining the Human Rights Campaign's annual dinner Saturday night, addressing the gay rights group less than two weeks after the military ended its ban on openly gay service members, an effort Obama championed.
With the president increasingly focused on his 2012 campaign, some gay advocates believe Obama will wait until after the election to make any significant announcement on his position on gay marriage.
"He really has been an incredible champion for the issues that are important to us," Sainz said. "It's fair to say we've made more progress in the past two years than we have in the past 40 years combined."

Birds of a feather flock together!
Take off your bedroom slippers sweetie! And flit in my army.
Since the “Don’t Ask” law was repealed, the next President can simply enforce the UCMJ (which is currently being ignored), and get the queers out of the military.
Never doubted for a moment where his true identity lay.
Hey friends of Dorothy - I love ya!
Is this tie pink enough for you? It will be standard issue for the military soon! *rimshot*
But hey - who needs a Stonewall when you’ve got a Quonset hut? Am I right? *rimshot*
I just flew in to pander - and boy are my arms tired! *rimshot*
Hey, since DADT was repealed Obama can now out himself as the commander in chief
The Bravo and LOGO networks may have a scoop tonight...
The bedroom slippers crowd isn’t going to like this one bit.
More popcorn, please.
Gay weddings can be performed by military chaplains, Pentagon says
The Pentagon will permit military chaplains to perform same-sex marriage as long as such ceremonies are not prohibited in the states where they reside, it said Friday.
I’m just glad to see that gay people are no longer held as slaves or forced to build our infrastructure for little or no pay. No longer to live in shanty shacks without running water or heat.
Too easy.
To really make the point with this group, Barry should take Larry Sinclair as his date.
I am sure that the Confectioners Union will prepare the chocolate for this event. FPLU 69 for sure.
Talk about fundraising, Zero has that campaigning thing all figured out. Plus, he has partisan media shills giving him cover, and often coordinates their strategy with the White House.
Thanks Clairity.
Obama to HEADline Gay Rights Dinner - well, the truth comes out.
I just thought of something...with DADT being repealed, now an openly gay person can be President. Being the “Commander in Chief” of the military - technically wouldn’t only a closeted gay be able to be President with DADT? (like our ‘dear leader’ now)
Barry can now live out in the open - with a “beard” of a wife.
