It *must* have been a technical problem. HBO are one of the gay-friendliest networks in the USA.

Amazing coincidence that the microphones started working again after the speech, innit? Seems like the same sort of "technical difficulty" a gay couple experienced in South Africa when a group of home affairs officials refused to issue them with a marriage permit.

This is not good at all. Very disingenuous. Obama does however include references to Gays and Lesbians.

The microphone also didn't seem to be working for Pete Seeger either- to my knowledge, Pete Seeger is not gay. It's a matter of faulty equipment, so people should direct their anger towards the people who should have checked and made sure that the equipment was working well beforehand.

@libhomo
we'll have to see how things unfold – HE doesn't strike me as misgymist or homophobic, but his team….

And it is striking how often "technical" problems manafe to exclude gay people "succeeding"

We need to face reality. Barack Obama has real problems with women and lgbt people.
