Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York, known for his hard-charging style and outspokenness, blasted the Obama administration for its approach to LGBT issues and called the posture “timid.”

Weiner, who represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, spoke with New York gay newspaper Gay City News on June 8 about the prospects for passing an inclusive ENDA, repealing DOMA and achieving other progress.

5. Not a huge fan, but Weiner $$ supported GLBT organizations ....

... way back when he was a city council member in the 90's representing an orthodox district that was largely hostile ( or at best infdifferent) to GLBT rights.

He seems to be the real deal... at least as far as this issue is concerned.
