It was a new look for the White House, bathed in rainbow colors to celebrate the Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex marriage nationwide.
President Barack Obama, who was inside, felt the glow on that June night in 2015. To see people gathered in the evening outside on a beautiful summer night, and to feel whole and to feel accepted, and to feel that they had a right to love that was pretty cool, he said a few days later. Pretty cool.
That might be a fair description of how Obama himself is viewed by legions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans who consider him among all U.S. presidents the greatest champion of their rights and well-being. [

Since Trumps election victory, LGBT-rights activists have expressed fears that the new Republican administration will reverse some of Obamas supportive executive orders and back legislation allowing some forms of discrimination against LGBT people if its based on religious beliefs.

Hmm. Think Crary might have some familiarity with the subject, thus prejudicing him?

We don’t call him homobama for nothing.

The immorality issues are ALL Obama ever really cared about. Everything else has been window dressing.

I call those issues “civil wrongs,” as opposed to civil rights.

I think Barry is almost as queer as Michelle. Yet, I could be wrong...

I think Mr. Crary has forgotten the Orlando nightclub shooting, where Obama took the side of the Moslem gunman, not the LGBTQXYZ victims.

The entire fakenews media seems to have forgotten. Or they just haven’t figured out how to excuse that yet.

Obama is a staunch champion of deception.

Anyone who saw the photo CNN keeps showing to “celebrate” the end of the Obama ERA would swear Obama is gay. I mean, queer as a three-dollar bill. I’d try to find it on CNN but it’s probably buried in fake news by now.

LGBT wants a Federal do nothing job, and wants YOU to support their laziness. LGBT spelled sideways is TURD.
