From The Advocate
Wonderful, with Carl Paladino going on TV saying all types of stuff against us. When Rubin Diaz Sr. continues to win elections, when other GOP leaders deny anti-bullying laws, NOM and other groups are funding anti-gay candidates and a GOP team filibustering any attempt for gay rights. They keep going after the president....
A group of LGBT equality activists working to end “don’t ask, don’t tell” launched an elaborate protest early Monday evening as President Barack Obama attended a private Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fund-raiser in Miami at the home of NBA star Alonzo Mourning.
As the president headed toward Mourning’s Coconut Grove residence, where donors had paid as much as $5,000 and $18,000 per person to see him, members of GetEqual, a national LGBT rights organization, along with local activists lined the street holding four 10-foot signs that read “End the Discharges Now” and “We’ll Give When We GetEQUAL” – a reference to the group’s recent campaign encouraging people not to donate money to either the Democratic or Republican parties or their campaign committees until the president signs an executive order immediately stopping the discharges.
The group tipped off reporters and photographers from the Associated Press and the local NBC affiliate, who were stationed at the entrance of Mourning’s residence at the exclusive Coral Gables Estates on Alveda Parkway.
Since Mourning's mansion abuts the bay, GetEqual also launched three boats containing activists equipped with signs and bullhorns, which they used to shout chants during president's speech. Additionally, they released into the air four "cloud buster" balloons with 10-foot-long banners reading "GetEQUAL.org" that had been tethered to the sides of the boats.

They need a lesson in history. I am really sad that this is what their priorities are. Maybe they are better off with the Bush in the white house. I am starting to believe that color is a factor here, in where if you are not white you are not so OK. What do get equal needs for Obama to show up his dick? Are they that desperate?
