As we all know, gay rights are extremely important, especially to a country where freedom is meant for everyone. But recently there has been some drama after the Sunday Gay Rights march. There is talk about how the government cares little or none to the interests of this political group, meaning they think of the group as merely a fringe group. On NBC, John Harwood, senior White House correspondent for CNBC was asked whether the White House was worried about the march and he responded, "

Barack Obama is doing well with 90 precent or more of Democrats so the White House views this opposition as really part of the Internet left fringe.

For a sign of how seriously the White House does or doesn’t take this opposition, one adviser told me those bloggers need to take off the pajamas, get dressed, and realize that governing a closely divided country is complicated and difficult."

Well this wasnt a hit for the bloggers/gay rights activists. They began blogging in their pajamas in a huge collaborated rant of how the government really doesnt care about gay rights. Mr. Harwood, in an attempt to fix the problem of what he said, then stated how he wasnt only attacking gay rights activists, but rather anyone who complains about an issue in government. This response didnt really even help him either, but rather insulted all the rest of the bloggers in the world.
What i have to say is to not put down people with an opinion, especially when its the people's opinion, and especially when youre in politics. I believe people can blog when ever they want in their pajamas, too, about gay rights(oh yeah) or about any other boring topic. The politician, although he didnt want to, should have just kept his mouth shut and relished the truth to himself silently in his head. But its good to know the gays are stepping forward tough.
