Paste your docume(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama issued a statement on Saturday indicating that he and First Lady Michelle Obama would commemorate this Sunday as "the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia."
In the statement, the preisdent said he is working to "address the specific needs of transgender persons."
Here is the president's statement :
Michelle and I join our fellow Americans and others around the world in commemorating the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia tomorrow, May 17. We take this opportunity to reaffirm that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights are human rights, to celebrate the dignity of every person, and to underscore that all people deserve to live free from fear, violence, and discrimination, regardless of who they are or whom they love.
We work toward this goal every day. Here at home, we are working to end bias-motivated violence, combat discrimination in the workplace, and address the specific needs of transgender persons. Overseas, I am proud of the steps that the United States has taken to prioritize the protection and promotion of LGBT rights in our diplomacy and global outreach.
There is much more to do, and this fight for equality will not be won in a day. But we will keep working, at home and abroad, and we will keep fighting, for however long it takes until we are all able to live free and equal in dignity and rights.nt here

Obama and his lackeys are in big, deep trouble.
Things that God hates:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!
--Isaiah 5:20,21
This is exactly what the Godless left has been doing for quite some time now.
Woe is a very powerful word when God uses it!

Yep, the world is laughing at him and he is oblivious to it or just doesn’t care, I believe it’s the former.
He really doesn’t see the world the way most of us do. I don’t know of anyone else that had a tranny nanny when they lived in Indonesia.

I would like to remind all Muslim extremists that 0bama believes he is one with you, while he's one with transgender and homosexuals.
Be sure you bow his direction when you do your prayers tonight.

I hear you, FRiend.
Up until this _resident and his administration they weren’t celebrated unless I’m mistaken, that says a lot about him and them.

Tomorrow, I will commemorate the gratuitous sacrifice of the Son of God, which won eternal salvation for all who heed His Word and walk in His path.
The Resident celebrates what divides us by wealth, class and race and denigrates the values that unite us and make us a great Nation.

Hes able to proclaim things internationally now?Zero and Moochelle will celebrate it .... I don't really want to think of how they'll celebrate it. In Iran, they'll celebrate it by hanging gays from cranes.
