President Obama's campaign team sent this aesthetically pleasing rainbow chart via Twitter that shows the entire history of his LGBT achievements while in office.

Advocate.com points out that the chart may have been strategically released in response to criticism over Obama's resistance to sign an executive order barring the hiring of federal contractors who discriminate against LGBT people.

On the same day that he announced support for federal legislation banning harassment and bullying of students, the president tweeted the lengthy description of his LGBT wins, including ending discrimination in the armed forces and a national hate crimes bill.
