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

He’s not going to like reaping what he sows if he doesn’t repent.

I think Moochelle is a tranny.

Joan Rivers certainly tought so, and that old broad must have known all the Hollweird gospip and insder crap there was to be known after her decades at the top of the pyramid there.

Although blurting it out got her snuffed, along with the poorly kept secret that Obunga likes it in the butt.

Even Hollywood’s greatest gag writers couldn’t write such ridiculous klaptrap as eminates from the WH these days. It’s absolutely inane. Incredible. Insane. Destructive of course by obvious intent. And grossly embarrassing. This article is a parody, right?

He’s able to proclaim things “internationally” now?

His next big goal is to become UN General Secretary. He will finish destroying the US Constitution from there.

He’ll commemorate it with a round of golf, most likely.

Tomorrow [in the Catholic Church], it is the feast day of the Ascension of Jesus Christ.

Not so in the United Church of Canada:

Christ is Risen!

In the Orthodox Church, this is actually the Sunday of the Blind Man—the man born without eyes.

How appropriate!!!!

Indeed He is Risen!!!!

I’m disgusted by them, too!

It’s truly DISGUSTING that when I’m coming to the checkout isle to pay for my groceries, I have to look at all those pictures of Bruce Jenner “transitioning to a woman” on those magazine covers. I’m dealing with FOOD after all, and so is everyone else! Yeccchhhhh!!!!!

I’ve been praying that Bruce Jenner loses his delusion, never goes through with becoming a eunuch, and goes back to being a man. Lord have mercy!!!!
