Does he ever stop pandering to gays?

Via The Hill:

President Obama has appointed Brooklyn Nets center Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player, to serve on his Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, the White House said Thursday.

Obama also tapped daytime television host Rachel Ray and former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning, who earlier this year hosted the president at his home for a fundraiser benefitting the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Misty Copeland, the first African-American female soloist in more than two decades at the American Ballet Theatre, and Robert Shepardson, a staffer on the president’s election and reelection efforts, were also named to the group.
“I am grateful that these impressive individuals have chosen to dedicate their talents to serving the American people at this important time for our country,” Obama said in a statement. “I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.”

The president has been outspoken in his praise for Obama, who revealed he was gay in a Sports Illustrated essay last year. The NBA star was a guest in the first lady’s box at the State of the Union address this year.
