WASHINGTON, D.C., June 14, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – At a White House event celebrating "Gay Pride Month" yesterday, President Obama was introduced by two third grade twins who are being raised by a lesbian couple.
Nine-year-old twins Zea and Luna told the assembled crowd that last December they wrote the president a letter in which they asked for more funding for schools and better gun control. They also said they asked for the president’s support for gay marriage, “because we have two moms and they are just as good as other parents.”
In his following remarks, the president touted his administration’s numerous overtures to the gay rights movement, including the recent appointment of open lesbian Nitza Quinones Alejandr to the judiciary. This, said Obama to applause, would make Alejandr the “first openly gay Hispanic federal judge in our country’s history.”
The president also mentioned the passage of the Matthew Shepard hate crimes bill, removing the "Don’t Ask Don’t Tell" policy, and lifting the ban against HIV-positive immigrants.
The president told the assembled crowd of activists that he believes the United States has reached a “turning point” on gay issues.
“We’ve become not just more accepting; we've become more loving, as a country, and as a people,” he said. “Hearts and minds change with time.”
One of those hearts belongs to the president himself, who until as recently as last year, publicly professed to be opposed to gay ‘marriage.’ During an interview with ABC last May, the president announced that he had “evolved” on the issue, and would support gay “marriage” going forward. He said his decision to endorse same-sex "marriage" was based upon his Christian faith.
However, prior to the president's flip-flop, the Obama administration had already announced that it would not defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act before the Supreme Court. Instead, the House of Representatives had to step forward to provide the necessary defense.
The Court’s decision on DOMA is expected within days.
In his speech to Thursday's Pride event, the president traced his support for the gay rights cause to the Declaration of Independence. “As I said in my Inaugural Address, if we truly are created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well,” he said.
He concluded his speech by expressing his support for the Employment Non-Descrimination Act (ENDA).
“We need to get that passed,” he said. “I want to sign that bill. We need to get it done now.”
Pro-family activists have warned that ENDA would be a major step in the direction of a nation-wide gay “marriage” law, and would violate the rights of citizens who support traditional marriage.
In 2010, the U.S. Catholic bishops warned law would pose serious danger to marriage, religious liberty, privacy, the right to speak the truth about homosexuality in the public square, the rights of employers to act “consistent with that truth,” and the right of individuals to associate freely.
“In contrast to sexual conduct within marriage between one man and one woman — which does serve both the good of each married person and the good of society — heterosexual and homosexual conduct outside of marriage has no claim to special protection by the state,” wrote the bishops.
Picturing these girls twenty years from now, as they come to grips with the fact that they were used as political props by their parents and the then president. Ten bucks says one stays an LGBT true believer while the other cuts loose and goes the other way.
Yep, add to that abortion and feeling guilty just for the fact you’re even alive...seems it all adds up.

Why would he care? The whole Universe rotates around him. "Après moi, le déluge."
A stinking reprobate of a phony posing as the president of the United States of America!
I picture them in their mid teens when they ask about their father(s) - plural because it is evident that they are fraternal twins. I saw a similar scenario played out on Good Morning America a while back, when a 16 y/o girl was invited onto the program to "meet" (via cable connection), her "dad" (whose semen, from a sperm bank, enabled her mom to become pregnant). It is not only normal but quite natural for children to want to learn more about both of their parents. The girl was excited to finally meet her "dad". When he appeared on the screen, along with his wife and two boys, she blushed. Her questions gushed forth ... did he have big feet? 'Yes!' ... that explained her challenge in finding shoes. After addressing her other questions, the GMA hostette asked "do you have any other children from the sperm bank?". He replied: "Yes! From what I understand, there are close to 100 and I hope they don't all come looking for me".
The expression on the young girl's face went from a broad smile to a grimace as the realization of that statement struck home. The aspiration of being "Daddy's little girl" went up in a puff of smoke. Her total demeanor changed, right before our eyes.
I have never forgotten that program and the damage it inflicted on an innocent young girl. This is where our contemporary society that perceives itself as "progressive" has drifted. Shame on us!
regarding their use chemical weapons that is threatening to literally melt down the entire region around Israel...
because of his taxpayer funded trip to an LGBT event...
so he sent his Under Assistant Associate Vice Deputy to the Assistant Deputy Vice Director of National Security...
to brief the non-press on this non-announcement.
I wish I could make this stuff up so I could become a writer of dark comedy!
