• And as Towleroad pointed out, within seconds of President Barack Obama's swearing-in, the official White House website was updated with his civil rights agenda, which includes a lengthy section on LGBT rights that includes supporting full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples, expanding adoption rights, repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, and opposing a federal gay marriage ban.
