“A-plus. He’s definitely good on civil rights. And he’s also very good on human rights. I’m glad he supports the decriminalization of homosexuality throughout the world. That’s more than Bush would do.”

“He gets a B-minus. I’d give him a B-plus, but I was disappointed when he invited the Rev. Rick Warren to pray at his Inaugural. But I understand he has to appease various segments of society. Otherwise, I think he’s addressing LGBT issues acceptably.”

“I’ll give him a B. He’s very supportive of civil unions throughout the country. I think he’s showing compassion to others because of his own minority status. I would have given him an A. But there’s always more that he could be doing."

“I give him an A. Obama makes me feel like I’m no longer living under a dictatorship. He’s trying to make things better for everybody. He’s a hell of an improvement over Bush. He’s a symbol of equality. We all just need a little patience.”
