Gabriel Maldonado, Executive Director of the LGBT group Truevolution, said he has no idea why they were fired.
«Like any administration, they want to be their own people. Many of us have been appointed by Obama. I was assigned to be Obama, and my term ends in 2018,» added Maldonado.
It is worth noting that such dismissal is a common practice. For example, the Obama administration has fired virtually all appointed by President George Bush officials, before putting in new people.
