For what its worth, Andrew Sullivan isn't at all happy so far with either this or the admin as a whole re: LGBT rights. He's just one writer, but a widely-read one.
There's a lot of the very liberal left that's NOT at all happy with how far the administrations gone, yet; but... I'm actually kind of happy to see that. *laughs* I hate extreme action on the part of a president if he has Congress behind him.
And I can see where the compromises were made in even the proclamation; but I also kind of understand why they were made, as this might help ease the places where there's the most controversy.
