President Obama Asks *You* To Celebrate Homosexual Pride Month

It’s true.

The President has asked all Americans to observe this month, so if you’re an American, this means he is asking you to do so.

In a proclamation posted on the White House web site, he writes:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2010 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.  I call upon all Americans to observe this month by fighting prejudice and discrimination in their own lives and everywhere it exists.

Earlier in the proclamation he detailed all the things he has done on behalf of these favored citizens:

Across my Administration, openly LGBT employees are serving at every level. . . .

My Administration has advanced our journey by signing into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which strengthens Federal protections against crimes based on gender identity or sexual orientation.  We renewed the Ryan White CARE Act, which provides life saving medical services and support to Americans living with HIV/AIDS, and finally eliminated the HIV entry ban.  I also signed a Presidential Memorandum directing hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid funds to give LGBT patients the compassion and security they deserve in their time of need, including the ability to choose someone other than an immediate family member to visit them and make medical decisions.

In other areas, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a series of proposals to ensure core housing programs are open to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.  HUD also announced the first ever national study of discrimination against members of the LGBT community in the rental and sale of housing.  Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services has created a National Resource Center for LGBT Elders.

And he talks about all the things he’d like to do in the future:

Much work remains to fulfill our Nation’s promise of equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.  That is why we must give committed gay couples the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple, and repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.  We must protect the rights of LGBT families by securing their adoption rights, ending employment discrimination against LGBT Americans, and ensuring Federal employees receive equal benefits.  We must create safer schools so all our children may learn in a supportive environment.  I am also committed to ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” so patriotic LGBT Americans can serve openly in our military, and I am working with the Congress and our military leadership to accomplish that goal.

So there you have it. President Obama taking credit for all he has done to normalize the open practice of sexual deviancy in our society, as well as measures he’d like to take in the future to further normalize it, including “creat[ing] safer schools so all our children may learn in a supportive environment.”

I wonder if he’d like to require private schools to be “safer” in this way?

And I wonder where all this is going and how long it will be until gets there.

Some considerations from the Holy See here, and here, and here.

Still, the President’s request that *you* celebrate Gay Pride this month remains.

What do you think about that?

LGBT Americans have enriched and strengthened the fabric of our national life.

I am almost positive no T has enriched and strengthened the fabric of our national life.

What's he hiding?

Celebrate LGBT Pride Month. Screw Barack Obama.

[ArrogantBustard]

In (dis)honour of the LGBT Month, the US Army will be forming the new "69^th Infantry Division (Rump Rangers)".

Volunteers are being accepted now.

“A few years ago, I read a book by a Christian doctor which explained graphically homosexual sex techniques.”

WHY....??!!

I want to know where is the Jesse Dirkhising hate crimes prevention act. I want to know why there must be special rights for everyone on Earth except white males, especially southern white, protestant, heterosexual, conservative males who still believe in the constitution and have served in the armed forces. It seems we are fair game for anyone to attack in any way.

[Ol' Sparky]

How are we supposed to celebrate it? By going to our local parks and public restrooms and cheering on the homosexuals gathered to have sex there?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list.

America in 2010 is beyond belief, it seems like a novel that Steven King might have written twenty years ago if he had been on some very bad acid. I just watched “The Stand” again and the only difference I can see between Randall Flagg and Barack Obama is that Flagg seems to have a much better sense of humor.

I watched The Stand again, too, on Memorial Day. What struck me is that 16 years later, mini-series like The Stand seem like the good old days when networks allowed religiously-themed shows promoting the concept of good and evil. I thought I'd feel that way about The Stand.

He’s a liberal relativist; all things are equal, as long as they’re liberal.

I’m proudly celebrating my heterosexual pride this month (along with the other 11 mos.in the year). Why must it be during June,the month in which I was born?

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

More people should read this book so they can get their head out of their a** and learn the truth about these filthy perverts.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Or a month for necropheliacs?
