Obama, On Gay Issues
YES!
The White House is hosting an event tonight to celebrate LBGT Pride Month and President Obama will be speaking at the event.
Additionally, yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder was praised by a crowd of gay and lesbian employees at the Department of Justice after he promised to use the new laws to protect their presence in the workplace. He said:
"The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which the president signed into law last October, finally protects our nation's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered individuals from the most brutal forms of bias-motivated violence."
Progress is being made — slowly but surely! Kevin Nix, Director of Communications at Family Equality council explains:
"This Administration has taken small but significant steps in advancing LGBT equality (namely hospital visitation rights). But much more is left to do when it comes to the one million LGBT families raising two million kids in this country–like repealing DOMA and passing the Every Child Deserves a Family Act, which would swing open the doors for LGBT people to adopt. We look to this White House and Congress for leadership on these key issues that directly impact families."
Yes, there is still much work to be done!
Equality for all!

Obmama only likes black gays.
Gays are a nuisance for Obama. Just stop Don't Ask Don't tell with an Executive Order.
I live in England, and to me the idea that America is "the land of the free" and that your 'constitution' says there should be equal rights is a joke as your standards stand now, join the rest of the world, there are bigger fish to fry.
And yet another reason this asshole needs to go!!!!!
America is sooooo behind every other developed nation in the world. It'd be nice to see them actually live up to what their constitution says. The United States is the most hypocritical country that ever existed. Just look at slavery, and now gays. It's appalling.
Equality for all??? HA! Unless they disagree with you, right? You hypocrite bitch.
Its about time. #Equality for EVERY one! Gays deserve the right to marry, adopt, serve their country, see their loved ones on their deathbed, qualify for shared insurance, and live their lives free and proud just like everybody else!
This issue makes me SICK!!!!!!
Yeah.. we should impeach the guy for fighting for true equality.
How dare he fight for gay rights. Those damn gays should be lined out in the street and shot.
And how dare he remove restrictions put on stem cell research and abortion, how dare the land of the free allow women to have the freedom to do with their bodies as they wish. And how dare he fight for healthcare reform that will benefit at least 30 million americans, they should just die.
If it was Bush doing these things, the right wingers wouldn't have said a thing. I mean they bent over when he put the patriot act together, and they bent over when he lied and said Saddam was responsible for 9/11 and had wmd's. The only wmd that man had was his son who liked to rape chicks and kill dudes at clubs. But personally, he sounds like he'd have been fun to party with.
LGBT = just another acronym for sexual pervert
Oh and there are gay republicans that I'm sure have beliefs Perez would disagree with, but I'd imagine he'd want them to have equal rights as well regardless. I mean sure, the dude is a bit hypocritical but he seems pretty solid on his gay rights beliefs, andhis ripping of Floptina isn't hypocrisy because she really isn't nearly as talented as Lady Googoo..
cant believe america is still chewing on this issue?? wtf?
it shouldnt be an issue! every human deserve equal rights. no one is better than any other. FULLSTOP.
Ummm, even the gays don't like NObama. He's doing nothing for the gays and he's doing nothing for the straight folks. FIX THE OIL PROBLEM YOU FUCK UP PRESIDENT!
Obama on gay issues? Any quotes from Obama in this piece? No?
im gay,voted 4 him,and hes the biggest disappointment,only wants to please republicans and fuck the peeps who voted for him.we need to get a REAL dem to run in '12.C-YA!!!

You are so right! We have an energy policy that might work for Haiti. Our great Liberal Democrats have had the good ole' USA handcuffed for 50 odd years. Conservatives have been fighting this every step of the way. I'm sure we can count on your support-from-afar on changing this archaic and insane energy policy.
-
By the time Flopbama gets through with us in two more years in his one-term presidency, we probably won't even be able to help save your pathetic country from who ever is doing the invading.

Your next comment:
"Just look at slavery…"
-
That's the best you can do?
You're pathetic.
618,000 young men died fighting in our Civil War to change the way the world worked in those days.
That's not enough atonement? Oh no. Of course not.
Here you are regurgitating shit 150 years later; just like the "Jesse Jackson freeloader get everything from whitey revenge" faction does.
And the jokes on them. Their black families destroyed by Liberalism.

You think our Muslim POS thug is going to do anything for gays except lip service, when he bows down to King Saud?
An Executive Order is right there and can be signed yesterday, changing it all for the gays. It ain't happening Bucko.
Go back and crawl under the rock you slithered out of.
Obama has only four months. Guess yall better ride him hard. There's a war and a huge oil spill, in case you've forgotten.
Luvstotango…………exactly. After 11/2/2010…….Obama is done.
Re: Carlo_B – So you live in England and America is doing such a bad job in America on equal rights, is that right?-
-
I don't know but does England still have primgentiture or was that recently changed to accommodate for the modern era of equality standards? Too lazy to google it for an asshole like you.
Yeah, keep slinging arrows and us, the greatest country on earth, even with our POS radical Black Panter president.
Republicans make Americans sound stupid. Shhhh.
Re: jayzee – I pray every night for this to occur and I'm not really a praying type.
-
We will win some battles and lose some of the coming battles, but we've only just begun to fight.
225 years of building this country to be wiped out in 18 months and we'll quiety go away, and say, "Thank you, Obama." I don't think so.
Re: likethepear – I agree that we are behind on several issues, but you really think that the U.S. is the only country to have slavery?!?!?!?! Keep telling yourself that.
Re: SarahSmiles4 – So, little SarahSmiles4, you must be either in prison or a Welfare Queen, not paying taxes. That's about all the supporters Flopbama has left.
Obama will use the gays
to to serve his political ends
and then he will throw them
under the bus when they are
no longer useful to his agenda.
.
Look how he treated the Jews and Israel.
.
He kisses the butts of Muslims
and radical Muslims do not like gays
and lesbians to put it mildly.
.
He is mean to America's allies
and kisses the butts of dictators
and tyrants -
he is not to be trusted.
i am sorry that gays think their rights is important right right HE has bigger things he needs to worry about, like quit killing off our world and do something about the gulf, and bring our boys home!
Re: RashManly – I agree with most of what you said but I believe ALL MUSLIMS hate gays. Barry Obama pandered to gays and environmentalists but he doesn't give a shit about either group. He just wanted their votes. Even psycho liberals are starting to talk shit on Obama because they are realizing that he doesn't like America, Americans or keeping us safe. This prick has been doing nothing except having a good time while the oil gusher continues. The only people who like Barry nowadays are either fellow Muslims or Helen Kellers. Barry, keep playing golf and blaming Bush. That's all you're good for anyway.
Those poor 2 Million kids stuck in a confusing wold,,,people forget about the kid's that are watching the behavior of the people raising them, And think it's ok to live like them
Who the F cares - we have the worst natural disaster in US history with the BP oil spill and he's talking about the gays? Why is this guy still prez???
What next? Equal rights for The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)?
Gay people need to start angling this cause with a libertarian POV. Stop engaging religious extremists by debating them and crying foul to their disdain, and start engaging the government with insistence that they do not unfairly tax us as single individuals when indeed many are partnered, entitling them to the tax breaks heterosexual couples enjoy, because if we aren't, our group remains demonized. I think there's been plenty of gay sons, daughters, cousins, and friends in every family across the world for people to now realize that this is not a choice or a phase. It was pretty clear to most of my family that I was gay by the time I could speak. The article in Time magazine on Ted Olsen is on the mark. Ted was George W. Bush's lawyer in 2000 for the Supreme Court hearing on the election, which was decided in their favor. Surprisingly, he has now dedicated himself to the cause of gay marriage and it's high time that more people from all over the spectrum come out in the same fashion–not necessarily to celebrate, but to recognize this as a liberty for many people.
Equality for all ? Great … does that mean that you will stop calling women whores and sluts ?
How do you expect from someone to respect your sexuality when you don't respect the sexuality of others ?
Hurrah,hooray!
president obama has ZERO ZERO ZERO credibility on gay issues…..he campaigned with the gospel singer DONNIE MCCLURKIN who believes that he was 'DELIVERED" of his homosexuality by GOD…..there is alot of good things to be said for the president on other issues…..he's better than most republicans on gay rights issues for sure…..except for the ones tap tap tapping in airport bathrooms…..but he's got a long way to go in my opinion…..and while gay military service is fine….since most gay people are left of center….it's not the most pressing issue……
my comments are not getting through
Yay!
Y'all know that if the White House was actually behind making equality for all - the gays would already have their rights. What the White House is doing is trying to keep the peace by making it LOOK like they support the agenda - they need all the support they can get right now. But we all know that's bullshit…right? Please tell me none of you are falling for their pathetic attempts. And as much as I can't stand Obama, he's not in charge. It's the guys behind the scene. Duh!!
Mario, when I think about how you pushed and pushed for Obama to be president:(((……he's a rookie and so far, he's done an overall dismal job.
Being from Texas and all, received my new bumper stickers from www.CafePress.com
They had over 20 pages of anti-Obama sayings; it used to be about 3 pages.
Everyone gives us the "thumbs up" sign and honking their horn in support. Even black people, which is pretty courageous.
Amazing really.

Shut your computer down and restart. It's a "cookie" thing.
That usually fixes it.
Then it's a server thing that we can't fix.
WHY is he wasting his time on this crap and all of his other agendas, when we are facing one of the worst disasters ever in the Gulf?????????
Re: Ü!!!SEMICOLON!!!bergeist – Were you the one that told me about Hugo Boss's history; that his family company designed all those fantastic nazi uniforms?
Don't you get it? He doesn't care about gays! He just wants to segure your votes. I think its too little too late on the gay issues. He hasn't done what hes promised.
Re: goodiegumdropxoxo – It makes sense when you can finally get a grasp, that he not an American, and has been raised by Commies to hate what it stands for.

Shut down our economy for absolute power by the Elites.
i think we've all figured out by now that Obama is full of shit
Yup, Obama is a happy man today.
The headlines in the news has him poaaibly firing a general instead of oil soaked pelicans to appease his Lefties.

Never let a crisis go to waste.
If the majority of people are against something, you can count on Obama to be for it. 2 1/2 more years of insanity.
Nice. Now if only the economy was falling apart, people had jobs, and their wasnt several millions of barrels of oil leaking into the Gulf every day.
We still waiting for Marriage Equality for all …… anyways….. Obama is a Rockstar!
You are just another mindless buffoon Perez. Obama could not give a rats ass about you or any other gay, he just takes his PR pandering opportunities wherever he can get them to save his lagging ratings.
Guess it's okay that he's fucking this country up, as long as he supports gay rights, huh Perez?
He'll be gone next term.
