I've been critical and disappointed regarding Obama's treatment of the LGBT community. But he earns back some points with the history-making appointment of transgender woman Amanda Simpson as a senior technical adviser to the Department of Commerce.

As a Facebook friend of a Facebook friend (a FFOAFF?) noted, this has the added benefit that it will likely make Glen Beck's head explode.
