My boo David Hauslaib (who edits the gay interest site Queerty) was invited to the CNN bureau here in NYC earlier today to be interviewed about President Barack Obama’s commitment (or lack thereof) to GLBT issues here in the US and his appearance has been posted on CNN.com. Watch the video below to hear David (and Huffington Post writer Jose Antonio Vargas) discuss the matter with CNN correspondent Reggie Aqui:

While I don’t always agree with David on all matters, there is no denying that he is absolutely well-spoken and quite knowledgeable on these matters. GLBT issues are at the forefront of water-cooler discussions right now and it is my hope that all of this attention will work towards advancing equal rights for all citizens in this country. It cannot always happen overnight but a hearty and educated on-going discussion of the issues can go a long way to affecting change. I’m glad that CNN had the foresight to invite David to speak on this matter today because they’d be hard-pressed to find someone to better speak on these issues. He did a great job, didn’t he?
