An Advocate article marking President Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office finds the leaders of the nation’s largest LGBT groups praising the administration’s inclusive attitude.  Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, told the Advocate, “I’ve been doing Washington advocacy work since 1989, and this particular administration feels not only more inviting or receptive of the community but, quite frankly, more proactive.”

The Advocate reports:

Since taking office, President Obama’s administration has joined the United Nations statement condemning human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity, appointed John Berry to the highest ranking Administration position ever held by an openly gay person, and, perhaps most importantly, markedly increased the community’s access to the White House on any number of fronts.

The Victory Fund’s Chuck Wolfe, speaking about the more than 30 openly LGBT presidential appointees so far, said, “The big-picture question is, if he promised change, has he delivered it? And I think the answer is, ‘Yes.’”
