President Barack Obama highlighted Monday his administration's efforts to bolster the gay community at a reception celebrating LGBT Pride Month, which was attended by a Southern Baptist pastor who recently broke with his denomination on the homosexuality issue, and his gay son.
Danny Cortez, who leads New Heart Community Church in La Mirada, California, rejected his denomination's stance on homosexuality by deciding to accept the LGBT community without teaching that homosexual behavior is a sin. He and his 15-year-old son, Drew, who came out as a gay earlier this year, received an invitation to the presidential reception, which was also attended by First Lady Michelle Obama.
Obama told a crowd of attendees holding up cameras and cell phones that his administration had appointed 10 openly gay federal judges and publicly recognized his openly gay pastry chef, Bill Yosses, whom he joked had put "crack" in their pies.
"A lot has happened in the year since we last gathered here together. Same-sex marriage has gone into effect in 10 more states, which means that 43 percent of Americans now live in states where you're free to marry who you love," Obama noted. "The NFL drafted its first openly gay player. Harvey Milk got a stamp. Laverene Cox was on the cover of Time. Coca-Cola and Honeymaid were unafraid to sell their products in commercials showing same-sex parents and their children."
The president congratulated "those of you who fought the good fight" on "the tremendous progress we've made as a society."

Why does Obama push homosexuality so much?
Its not just events like this. He is also pushing homosexuality in our foreign policy. Much of the world is not liberal on homosexuality, yet we are making it a key issue with human rights policy. We are alienating much of the world by our actions. Yet the liberals said that Bush caused Tue fall of America’s image in the world, and Obama would restore our good name in the world.
.....”the tremendous progress [sic!] we’ve made as a society.” Barack Hussein obama....
“Progress”? Yeah, right! “Progress” in slouching toward Gomorrah!!!!”
I looked up HOMOSEXUAL in the dictionary and came across that pic.
On July 4th, Obama will be visiting a Mosque.
Obama must have a split personality. He loves muslims and homosexuals. Now we know that muslims hang and crucify homosexuals. Obama can’t have it both ways. He is going to have to swing one way or the other...muslim? queer? muslim? queer? Oh, the choices!!
Wow.
That causes me to apologize for not making the connection sooner. My bad!! really bad!
It's not Obama's fault that he fails to learn about serious national issues concerning real scandals in just about every department under his control as president.
The relevant news are never published in the GLBT section of the newspaper!
How do they prove it?
