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 Trump’s election victory, LGBT-rights activists have expressed fears that the new Republican administration will reverse some of Obama’s supportive executive orders and back legislation allowing some forms of discrimination against LGBT people if it’s based on religious beliefs. …

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.

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.

How bout the half million or so additional HIV;AIDS cases during his tenure/. The disproportional suicides and mental health problems?

Yeah, he’s a real champion alright
