Obama Set To Address The Gays!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Politik > Barack Obama

wenn2588787.jpg

And it better be good!

President Obama is scheduled to speak at the Human Rights Campaign annual dinner on Sunday, the eve of the National Equality March in D.C.

Although, he has faced criticism for not taking a stronger stance on gay and lesbian issues, he is only the second president to address the community next to Bill Clinton in 1997.

Thousands are expected to show up this weekend hungry for equality, so we're expecting him to bring it!

Will U be there?!

    Madison, Wisconsin

    EQUALITY FOR ALL!



  10. 10

    The only thing is coming out of his mouth is that he had sex with Perez Hilton, and Fidel Castro (at the same time!!!)



  11. 11

    So where you all over Bush when he was in office about "the gays". Because Bush was all about "The Gays". lol.



  12. 12

    Let's just hope it's not any more false promises, I'm starting to lose hope in this man…



  13. 13

    I really wish I could go to this event. I am in the Student Government Association branch at my school and we're going to D.C. on the 23rd of October. I was so bummed to hear that this was going on two weeks prior to my arrival Lol. Send my regards to Mr.Obama for equality. Oh and I can't wait for you to meet my friend Keko who is going to FIDM in L.A., I told him to give you my number when you meet him. LOL =]



  14. 14

    barack is SEXY!!!



  15. 15

    Hopefully he will say that he will only recognize gay marriage if a large group beats you to a bloody pulp. And not the kind of group beating you would like. Although I doubt you made that mistake since you would have trouble finding one guy to keep it up after looking at you let alone a group.

    On second thought. Obama will say what he will do, and then not do it so it really doesn't matter what he says.



  16. 16

    Anti Gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  17. 17

    First, a dinner on Sunday wouldn't be the eve of the March, it would be the night of the March. (Just clarifying). Regardless, I am going to be flying from Washington State to attend this historic and monumental event. Change cannot take place unless enough people stand up and voice their opinions. And I mean that for everything, Thomas Paine once wrote, “every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it” , which alludes to the fact that laws and government are not concrete, they are there to serve the purpose of safeguarding the people and their interests. And when our interest change so must the laws.



  18. 18

    Heh, SNL slams him over the weekend for nothing he's promised, including on gay rights, and his response is yet another speech! His continued reliance on empty rhetoric and non-stop TV appearances to make it SEEM like things are getting done is wearing thin. For God's sake, Obama, get your lazy ass back to the Oval Office and DO YOUR JOB!!



  19. 19

    *"slams him…for DOING nothing he's promised…"



  20. 20

    no, i am not gay and really don't care. i think you guys should be allowed to get married because the constitution doesn't exclude you but that is it. you guys make a big deal out of nothing. once you all are able to get married then you will be able to get divorced and then there is this thing called alimony and after some of you have to start paying it then you will regret wanting to get married



  21. 21

    That is why a republican president is better. At least you know he hates you as opposed to this pretend from the demo's. Obama in my opinion just sucks and not in the good way.



  22. 22

    Barack is not going to do anything to jeopardize his re-election. Sorry, but I think "the gays" will have to wait until after 2012 to see anything from him. He's such a loser. This guy has no strength of conviction at all. I didn't like Bush, but at least he stood by his beliefs. Obama is gutless.



  23. 23

    "And it better be good! "

    Or what, you'll vote republican? Hahaha welcome to being a minority, were your party doesn't have to earn your vote. You can wait inline behind the blacks and hispanics to file a complaint.



  24. 24

    Perez! WTF! Im not a fan of Obama but shut up! He never said he supported gay marriage. In fact, look back at debates and questions asked to him, he openly said that he does not agree with it. He's not a liar, you people just have selected hearing.



  25. 25

    I am SO happy my family will be there….I can't wait - lady gaga and the President!



  26. 26

    I still think how you schooled me last year about everything! You're the best!



  27. 27

    The man hasn't been in office for a fucking year! Are you people retarded or something? WTF do you expect him to do? And this isn't a dictatorship, so he can't just do anything and everything he wants in 3 damn days! I swear… ignorant asswipes!



  28. 28

    Amercia suks everyonee shud have equal rights,The uk is so much hotter!
    Alsooo I dont get the whole Obama thing,hes shitttttt y wud u vote for him to be president :O:O



  29. 29

    Mr. President, if you're reading this…. this should not be an issue.

    As Americans were all created *equal* they all should have the same rights… no matter what their sexual preference. Marriage is a civil, legal act… just because it can happen in church does not make it any less legal.

    There should be no issue about gays having the same rights as all Americans.

    Re: Bill Hader – Republicans are fundamentalist fascist whtie trash from the south and if they had control of all three houses gay people would be in serious trouble ,the republican trash today are just like the taliban and if you study the gop and how they try to harm gay people,state after state, issue after issue you would never say Obama is like that scum., Obama has lots to repair from 8 years of neglect and failures of the Bush white-house. He will get to doing the right thing for gay rights/marriage /military soon,his heart is in the right place,how about yours?



  31. 31

    Re: MEMEME4 – Well I'm a fan of Obama and actually while Obama doesnt support gay marriage across the country, when the vile republicans were trying to break up gay marriages with their prop h8 in California Obama came out on the side of gay marriage. Obama is ivy-league educated,brilliant and a good guy,he's on the side of gay marriage ,but he has to clean up the asshole bush's 8 years of disastors before he can address civil rights that makes the red state rednecks go ape-shit.

    He will speak with the homosexuals, but not a peace maker the Dali Lama. The Frigging Dali Lama who has spent his life to bring peace to the world and attention the the plight of the tibetian peopl. He gets snubbed. All the gays do is dress like women, bang eachother indiscriminantly, and and speak with a lisp. Obama! Worst and stupidest president Eveeeerrrrrrrrr. He is looking dumber than W.

    about fuckin time. let's see if he actually does anything to help.

    Re: Buk0wski – I hope you get cancer and your family crashes in a car thats my dali lama moment for trash like you. You are one hundred percent bigoted trash and I will send all my dali lama Karma to you and all your loved ones,asshole. Equal rights for everyone, If you like the Dali Lama you wouldnt be sounding like neo nazi trailer trash or ghetto scum.

    Has anyone read Larry Sinclair's book, "Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder?"



  38. 38

    this piece of shit will no doubt make MORE promises he doesnt intend to keep in the first place. cant wait till i can vote this commie trash out of office.



  39. 39

    the HRC guys are just a bunch of starfuckers who don't do shit to advance gay rights. with obama's favorable ratings in the toilet right now, i'd rather he didn't slime us gay folks with his presence.



  40. 40

    Obama hates this country and is governing without regard to the Constitution. We are a representative government with power given to "elected" individuals
    sworn to uphold the Constitution. Obama is creating his own goverment "giving" power to these "csars" something like 38 of them so far. IMPEACH THE BASTARD. He has big plans and it doesn't include you or me having freedom of any kind, so he has to go and soon. Wake up people.



  41. 41

    I hope he gets his shit together and repels DADT! He better open his ears,eyes and brain and do the right thing. (Like he SAID he would!)
    We all deserve equality and hopefully,this will come to pass,SOON!



  42. 42

    Re: YUCK – I HOPE like hell Perez isn't there. Gay people have enough shit to deal with! We don't want/need anyone to think Perez represents the gay community! He's a friggen embarrassment!



  43. 43

    Re: Sergelotion – You're anti-human!



  44. 44

    Re: CaraC – NO if we wanted to read fiction ,we would read Ann coulter's or Glen Beck's books, at least they are funny even if they don't mean to be. But this work of fiction by this crack addict paid by conservatives is just too boring and a non-event.



  45. 45

    Re: knowitall – I agree,well said.



  46. 46

    Re: Buk0wski – AND You're looking more homophobic then Bush! UGH!



  47. 47

    Babe…..this man could care less about you and your gay agenda. Really. You will soon see. Well, guess you should have seen by now….just sayin. He just want's the dem vote it 2010…..yall are just an easy vote. As are uneducated blacks and hispanics. I refuse to believe his BS.

    Trust me….this man will go down in history as the worst American President. I'm from Georgia….he will steal that title from Jimmy Carter. What a waste of time.



  48. 48

    Haven't he given enough speeches? maybe it is time to go back to office and start doing some things?



  49. 49

    Re: HeartsContent – Three days. Miss the three R's in school? Not far from a year. So…Bush was blamed for Clinton's lack those first 8 months….but Obama has nothing to do with this total BS? Seriously? You make me laugh!



  50. 50

    Hungry "about" equality? Really? How about hungry children in this Country. How about make men take care of the children create? Seriously? I hate the way the gays think it's all about being gay, and their rights. How about just get married…..I'm married, but don't want to shove my marriage down any person's throat. Who the fuck cares. IMO….the gay rights fight is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on the nets.

    So stupid.



  51. 51

    Re: jayzee – The fact that you are a rightwinger from the south explains why you are such trash, you can get married moron, gays can't so while you shoved in our face the fact that you are married gays don't get to have what scum like you take for granted. I understand that where you come from all that bigtotecd vermin hate gay people,we get it,we see the trash that you elect,all the scumbag republican demonic fascists. So guess what trailerpark fundie,we can worry about feeding the poor and giving gays rights that republcians are obsessed with denying them.. And while Clinton was fantastic for the economy and bush managed to ruin what he inherited Obama inherited the failures of the mormonic freak bush, There is a reason why I won't spend a dime in the dixie southern cesspool and your'e that reason.



  52. 52

    Everyone just needs to chill. The first thing on his list is healthcare. If Obama were to repeal DOMA and Don't Ask Don't Tell before healthcare it would not happen.

    He is keenly aware that his next moves will definitely hit his numbers, so he is putting those off until healthcare reform becomes a reality.

    Patience people. PATIENCE.



  53. 53

    Can't wait to hear what lie Messiah Dumbama will tell the gay community. Like all demoncrats he lies through his teeth about how much the demoncrats care for the gay community. Yet idiot gay leaders will clap like a bunch of happy seals and swoon at the very sight of Messiah. Messiah of Hope has now become the Messiah of Broken Promises. Moron!



  54. 54

    Preaching all this bullshit about equality yet you continue to bash females on a daily basis, how exactly does that work Mario? Calling certain girls ugly, fat, desperate etc…if you feel so strong about equal rights for all, then listen to your own fucking preaching!



  55. 55

    it takes time in government to get things approved that are this controversial! Obama has bigger problems then giving equality to "the gays". I'm all for equality, but he has much bigger things to work on. His major issue is our economy at this time and how we get make our country better by providing jobs!



  56. 56

    the HRC annual dinner is on 10/10/09, saturday…



  57. 57

    I hope he addresses murderes and liars and adulters to so we can get equality for them too!



  58. 58

    Re: kru911 – Well it sure is a bigger issue for you,isnt it.



  59. 59

    [re=4381382]Re: default_green So you are equating gay people with murderers ,no wonder there is so much crime against gays from the under-class like you, I mean I don't know who fucked up your soul and mind so badly,something tells me it's the divorced,uneducated trash that brought you into this world. Sad.



  60. 60

    Gayness is a trend just like everything else.
    I'm over it sick of it.
    Celebs feed into that gay shit, having some damn man who is confused telling her what to wear. Your not a woman and you never will be even with your peen chopped off it still doesn't matter, even with fake tits it still doesnt matter you will never be can never be a woman.



  61. 61

    Re: PinkLollipop – I agree! Perez is a friggen hypocrite! Remember,WE hate him,too!



  62. 62

    How about him addressing something more important, like ILLEGAL ALIENS in my country and when he will throw them all the fuck out.



  63. 63

    Bravo!

    It isn't like the President hasn't been busy!

    I am happy that he is going to speak at the dinner though.

    Congrats President Obama!



  64. 64

    My thoughts are is he doing this because he beleives in equal rights for gays? Could he be doing this because his ratings as president are declining? Does he really, truely support gays rights or is he show boating? We will never know for sure will we?



  65. 65

    I hope that Obama speaks to human rights issues that are about meating peoples basic needs for food, water, shelter and healthcare. I am going to lose it if he kisses ass for the gay vote. SICK OF THIS!!!!!!



  66. 66

    when are people going to realize this guy is not like them. doesn't care about them. he is an elitist living a priviledged life. he has his own agenda, period. not interested in doing anything of merit, only interested in shameless self promotion. he sucks. and his wife is a tranny beast.



  67. 67

    I have to believe that CHANGE will happen! It doesn't matter who you love…just as long as you love someone. I am still waiting for Perez to find somebody…I would love to see that wedding!!

    Maybe you should get Meghan McCain to rally for you since she is more apt to support and speak out on behalf of gays, she already does and she's a REPUBLICAN. Yes, not all republican are against equal rights for gays. I know more DEMS who are against rights for gays than I do conservatives. Obama isn't going to do a darn thing for gay people. He got their vote and now he really just doesn't care, he never did. He stated so several times. He'll make a pretty speech and move on to the next thing and like always, nothing will get done.



  69. 69

    i adore our president. i really wish verizon would sell the iphone.



  70. 70

    Re: knowitall – Actually he said that he believes in traditional marriage and the individual states will be able to pick whether it is going to be legal or not. Now if you want to bring up the prop 8 issue, it was voted on and majority rules. I dont live in california so its not really any of my business. But I can guarentee if you put up this vote in Michigan, a democratic state, then it would have the same result as california.



  71. 71

    i think its wrong that gays and lesbians cant get married. two of my best friends are lesbians and they have been together for a really long time. though they say that it doenst matter to them because there happy just being together i would love to one day get to see them walk down the isle and have that special day that everyone deserves to have. me and BF have decided that until our friends get married we wont be getting married. if it takes for ever for gays and lesbians to be able to get married then i guess me and him will be like our friends ans just be happy to be together.

    its not fair that straight people get to get married without any restrictions. i thought this was the land of the free not the land of the free…only if you do what we say. everyone should be able to love and marry who ever they want to.

    Re: kjen – Well it's nice that Megan Mccain is for gay rights,exactly where was she elected,oh yeah nowhere. That's because a pro-gay republican hardly if ever gets eleted,all you have to do is study the gay advances that have been made. All have come because of dems or independents, Every law protecting gays or giving them rights they once didn't have,have come from dems, and the republican party of fascist fundamentalist southern trash has fought every gay right and continues to do so,inf fact you can just read the gop platform they spell it out for you. The republican neo nazis are fighting dems and independents now who want gays protected from school yard bullying,the gop trash don't want any anti-bullying laws in schools because they don't want gays protect. I can go on and on,but you sound like you have an agenda,one of peddling the republican hate party as moderate.

But I guess you can keep making shit up.



  74. 74

    Re: MEMEME4 – Well actually Obama came out for the gay marriage side in Ca,so you can keep saying what you want,but the republican trash in Ca were all behind prop h8 and while it did lose in Ca barely by 52-48 it wont be a settled issue until gays can marry again here. I dont think the vote would have been so close in your state which is much more conservative and less educated.



  75. 75

    Re: rudy96 – Well standing up for what's right in this case, gay rights and marriage takes guts and while you think Obama is pandering to gays by talking to them you are way off base. It's much more popular to be homophobic and anti-gay in most of this country even though thats changing as older bigots are dying off and the new generation being more humane and liberal. Until the underclass( comprised of white trash southern conservatives and their clones and uneducated inner city folks) gets eduated ,bigotry against gays isn't going away too soon.



  76. 76

    Re: sahdahimbou – In Canada, not only do we have gay marriage, we also have gay divorce. Divorce can only be viable if and only if, one of the spouses is Canadian. Anyone. Regardless of citizenship can get married.
