(RTTNews) - President Barack Obama recognized June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, or LGBT, pride month Monday. In a presidential statement he marked the anniversary of the LGBT pride movement and added that the government will "commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans."
"LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect," Obama said.
"I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans," he added. "These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security."

So, we celebrate LGBT Month, but can’t be bothered with National Prayer Day.
There may be some possibility for fun, here. If June is “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, or LGBT, pride month”, then is “Juneteenth”,
“Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or LGBT, and Slave pride month?”
I guess they get a thrill from driving the wrong way up a one way street and like playing in and tasting someone elses and their own feces, and having their bowels removed and replaced with colostomy bags after they tear up their bowels.
I suppose they hope that if they destroy enough bowls, they will "evolve" the human bowel faster, and erase the proof mother nature provided in the organ that it is a one way street, that it is not a vagina, that things are not to be inserted into them. There are an "exit only" organ designed to expell human fecal matter.
I DON’T and therefore June is NOT LGBT month. at least as far as I am concerned..
I mean....WHO IS STUPID ENOUGH TO CELEBRATE A BUNCH OF SEXUALLY CONFUSED FOLKS WHO TAKE PRIDE IN WHO OR WHOM THEY HAVE SEX WITH>>>>>>>UBER RIDICULOUS and kinda icky, too!
Pride goeth before the fall. Let’s hope that LGBT Pride Month proclaimed by B. Hussein Obama presages one.
I like how you think.
Sick,sick,sick, sick!!! Some “leader”! What normal person would want to follow Obama? He’s a ruler,not a leader. He isn’t leading us,he’s *dragging* us to national disaster!
Democrat.
Thanks for the ping!
Yes, there’s nothing like the smell of fecal matter and semen on his hooter to make a man’s breast swell with pride.
Let the Marines prattle on; a man feels real pride when his rectum is stretched out far enough to accomodate even the largest john thomas.

LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2009 - - - - - - - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION
Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.
LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. LGBT Americans also mobilized the Nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic and have played a vital role in broadening this country’s response to the HIV pandemic.
Due in no small part to the determination and dedication of the LGBT rights movement, more LGBT Americans are living their lives openly today than ever before. I am proud to be the first President to appoint openly LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an Administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public servants, and across my Administration — in both the White House and the Federal agencies — openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism.
The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more work to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.
My Administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. We must also commit ourselves to fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic by both reducing the number of HIV infections and providing care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS across the United States.
These issues affect not only the LGBT community, but also our entire Nation. As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
BARACK OBAMA
Blacks have the highest rates of religious attendence of any ethnic group in the nation, and they voted overwhelmingly for Obama.
“So, we celebrate LGBT Month, but can’t be bothered with National Prayer Day.”
EXACTLY !!
“LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect,” Obama said.
It’s so often couched in terms of protecting the youth.
It’s never seen in it’s true light: get them while their
young and turn them into sexually confused individuals.
