POTUS to LGBT: "Welcome to Your White House"

June 29, 2009 5:59 PM

Yunjiblog ABC News' Yunji de Nies reports: ABBA's "Dancing Queen" filled the East Room, as more than 200 prominent gays and lesbians gathered for the first ever celebration of Pride month at the White House. The President and First Lady entered to thunderous applause. President Obama told the group he is committed to equality for their community.

"This struggle continues today, for even as we face extraordinary challenges as a nation, we cannot and will not put aside issues of basic equality," he said, "We seek an America in which no one feels the pain of discrimination based on who you are or who you love."

Many gay and lesbians believe the President has been slow to act on major issues like the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, and the Defense of Marriage Act. The President asked the group to focus on what has been accomplished so far.

"I know that many in this room don't believe that progress has come fast enough, and I understand that," he said, "But I say this: We have made progress. And we will make more."

The President spoke about his recently signed memorandum, guaranteeing benefits to same sex partners of federal workers. While those include benefits like relocation and emergency evacuation - health care, retirement and survivor benefits are left out.

Here’s to hoping all the “social justice” christians in conservative states get a good look at who they voted for.

Oh my god, it’s not satire. When they said “Dancing Queen” was playing, I thought they were kidding, but no. This is all so surreal.

On their proverbial knees to include the demographic their government-dependent “base” largely opposes.

The media will not hype this for very long. It is an achilles heel for the black and Latino voters.

Whose Duck Back There?’: Ringtone Interrupts Obama During LGBT Speech

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might just be a duck (both of them)!

The imbeciles at the RNC and John McCain are really the ones to blame for this.

Their inability to effectively communicate what Hussein Baraka is to the people before election day is a case study in criminal incompetence.

” There are unjust laws to overturn and unfair practices to stop,” Mr. Obama said.
Among those, the President said, the Defense of Marriage Act. “

Amen!! The churches are turning out social advocates, not people with a relationship with Jesus Christ. The mainstream church has gone the way of the mainstream media. It is looked upon as impotent in making a difference, and with the watered down, politically correct ^%$ that comes from the pulpit, I can understand. People enjoy having their ears tickled... all of this is not new... just new to us...

Did Zero appear in drag or did he discretely choose a Fairy for the evening as his companion?
