I don’t think it’s fair to say silence on gay issues. The gay press may feel like I’m not giving them enough love. But basically, all press feels that way at all times. Obviously, when you’ve got limited amount of time, you’ve got so many outlets. We tend not to do a whole bunch of specialized press. We try to do general press for a general readership.
Andrew Sullivan has become somewhat notorious in the blogosphere for defending Obama on nearly every point of criticism. But gay equality is probably the issue of greatest concern to Sullivan. Instead of addressing the criticisms directly, Sullivan again blames the criticism on the influence of the Clinton's and says Obama's youth may the LGBT's community's greatest asset in an Obama administration:
More pertinent: look at his age. The sooner this country's leadership shifts generations, the more equality gay and lesbian people will have.
Pam's House Blend also gives Obama credit, saying he "speaks frankly" in the interview.
However, Jeff Fecke goes after Obama on the issue in a lengthy post entitled, "No, No, No, No, No."
Quite bluntly, I don't trust you to deliver on LGBT rights. The only thing that has allowed me to support you thus far is that I don't fully trust your opponent on LGBT rights either.
