The Associated Press reported today that President Barack Obama has appointed more openly LGBT officials to administration posts than any president in history.

With about 150 out appointees in just his first two years in office, Obama has already surpassed the total of 140 LGBT officials appointed during the 8 years Bill Clinton was in the White House.

Though anti-gay activists have targeted a few appointees, the vast majority, including more than two dozen requiring Senate confirmation, have experienced little opposition, according to the AP:

The pace of appointments has helped to ease broader disappointment among gay rights groups that Obama has not acted more quickly on other fronts, such as ending the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that bans gays from serving openly in the military.

In a sign of how times have changed, few of the appointees — about two dozen required Senate confirmation — have stirred much controversy. It’s a far cry from the 1993 furor surrounding Clinton’s nomination of then-San Francisco Supervisor Roberta Achtenberg as assistant secretary for Housing and Urban Development.

Achtenberg was the first openly gay official to serve at such a senior level, and she won confirmation despite contentious hearings and Republican Sen. Jesse Helms, who denounced her as a “militant extremist.”

Both a more receptive White House and early organizing by the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute’s Presidential Appointments Project are credited for the rise in the number of openly LGBT presidential appointees.
