The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told a crowd of homosexual activists last week that her husband wants to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and reverse the rule on homosexuals in the military. Michelle Obama also drew parallels with homosexual advocacy groups and the civil rights movement, referring to events "from Selma to Stonewall."
Speaking to the Democratic National Committee's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Committee last Thursday in New York City, Michelle Obama said her husband supports "a world where federal laws don't discriminate against same-sex relationships, including equal treatment for any relationship recognized under state law."
"That is why he supports robust civil unions," she said. "That is why he has said the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide for themselves how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples -- whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union or a civil marriage."
The Illinois senator has spoken little about homosexual issues on the campaign trail, but a position paper on his Web site says that Obama wants to "fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure 1,100-plus federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally recognized unions."

This should play well to the Religious Right.
What a Freudian sounding headline.
But don’t expect John McCain to take advantage of this statement.
Anything for a vote. Textbook liberal and much, much more.
He probably is a queer or at least a switch hitter.
Somehow a ‘position paper’ on homosexual rights comes across as humorous...
LOL. nd this after certain allegations against Hussein, true or not!
So Michelle is OK with the Barry and Larry hookup?
I wonder if at some point Barry will throw homosexuals under his infamous bus.
Of course McCain will say nothing. He opposed the marriage amendment.
Getting bad visuals of what Michelle Omarosabama means by “robust’ civil unions .....
I always wondered about women who think their husbands should have more gay friends.
That is just to get the homosexual’s vote and money. If he is elected you will see the committment to homosexuals disappear. And his committment to islam and sheria law appear.
“Barack Obama said he believed that Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount justified same-sex unions.”
I just looked.
I can’t find “Blessed are the deviants.....” anywhere.
I’d wonder more about the husband who went for it.
He drew this conclusion from the fact that the word MOUNT was in the title.
