OBAMA LEGACY: A quiet mission to export gay rights overseas
The Associated Press ^ | October 26, 2016 | Josh Lederman

While the world was watching America's gay rights transformation, the Obama administration was pursuing a quieter mission to try to export the same freedoms overseas to places like sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and eastern Europe.

The U.S. has deployed its diplomats and spent tens of millions of dollars to try to block anti-gay laws, punish countries that enacted them, and tie financial assistance to respect for LGBT rights. It was a mission animated in part by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's declaration that "gay rights are human rights."

Yet the U.S. encountered occasional backlash, including from some rights groups that said public pressure by the West made things worse....

Any bets on how long after he leaves office that he comes out of the closet?

Obama. Son of Lucifer.

Right down to the flies on his lips.

Three things Unions bargain for the most:

Wages (Feds are trying to take that over)
Health Benefits (Feds took that over with ACA)
Diversity (Obama changing us to Islamic state will eliminate that)

Obama is chipping away at the most important things Unions/Democrats do

So, why did Democrats vote for Obama again?

This is what the Obama’s and Clinton's call a “ twofer “ - killing two birds with one stone.

First they use the gay agenda to demoralize and destroy the USA.

Second, pushing homosexual rights delegitimizes American around the world and destroys American moral authority.

This is especially damaging in the Muslim world where homosexuals in the USA are used to anger, justify and mobilize Islamic terrorists for Jihad

That will probably happen coincidentally with Wookie’s divorce.

What American "gay rights transformation?" It was a homosexual imposition.

Please tell me how many states VOTED - in a referendum - to approve marriage redefinition. How many states' popular referendums to define marriage in their Constitutions were thrown into the dirt?

After President Trump is sworn in, this pro-homo crap will come to a screeching halt.
We'll get down to the business of rebuilding traditional America.

Four, by referendum (Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington State). Ten more (plus DC) by votes of the Legislature (CT, DC, CA, DE, HI, IL, MA, NH, NY, RI, VT). All others by orders of state or federal courts.

There were a handful of states which voted for homosexual marriage. At least 32 that I know of, voted to define marriage as a man and a woman. Even liberal California voted for the traditional definition of marriage.

I've learned there's a difference between our government, and its people. I am absolutely pro-American. I want peace, freedom and prosperity for the American people.

I hope the Federal Government goes bankrupt, and soon, while we still have people who remember the Constitution before the crypto-Marxists disfigured it.

The referendum you mention either declined to reverse legislative action to redefine marriage (2) or directly approved a redefinition of marriage (2). Hardly a national mandate.

“A quiet mission to export gay rights overseas”

And an even quieter mission to IMPORT as many AIDS infected homosexuals into the USA as possible, so we schmuck taxpayers can pay the bill for their treatment.

“Quiet mission” is so much more civilized term than “Attempted blackmail” isn’t it?
