Obama, Proclaiming LGBT Pride Month, Pushes Repeal of Defense of Marriage Act Wednesday, June 02, 2010 By Jane McGrath

(CNSNews.com) - Citing his commitment to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), President Obama on Friday issued a proclamation declaring June 2010 “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.”

The president also emphasized his intention to secure “adoption rights” for same-sex couples and end both employment discrimination against LGBT individuals as well as the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) compromise that bars homosexuals from serving openly in the military.

This is the second year that President Obama has declared June LGBT Pride Month, but it is the first time he has used the proclamation to call for repeal of DOMA.

“We see again president Obama trying to walk a tightrope on the marriage issue,” said Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow with Family Research Council. Obama “says we must give committed gay couples the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple and repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, [but] he doesn’t say right out that we should change the definition of marriage,” Sprigg noted.

I seem to remember Barack Obama proclaiming that he believed marriage should be between a man and a woman. Where did that pledge go to?

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.

Does he ever worry...

Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' Matthew 7:23

He sure has his priorities in order. I work with many democrats and union members who really love to hear these priorities clarified when I talk to them.

“Do you really think that it’s more important to demonize and attack the Boy Scouts of America, a private organization, for not allowing homosexual men membership for the sole purpose of having full access to the boys, and for having a requirement that its members believe in a creator? To praise, support and empower these same pedophiles and perverts by allowing them to teach the practice of homosexuality to our kindergarten and grade-school aged children in the classroom? To support Radical Islam in our communities by overlooking their constant hatred and attacks on all who disagree with them? To ignore who and what was responsible for the attacks on American soil on 9-11? To overlook Black Panther race crimes at our voting booths? To attack our own communities and laws over the criminal illegal immigrants who break them? And all of this and more while we are fighting two wars, watching the shoe drop on at least two more and sending your children and mine into debt to the tune of 13 Trillion Dollars?!?!??!!”

They usually have a look of total defeat when asked these questions. Or variations thereof.

I thought that the President said once a law is passed and signed we should just shut up and accept it.

There was a time when June was considered the primary heterosexual wedding month.

SnakeDoc

Yeah.

Whatever happened to those innocent times, and why did they go away?

“To celebrate LGBT pride month the President said he had sex with several men and allowed his daughters to be raped by lesbians in a scene reminiscent of the Vagina Monologues.”

Ain't it great how muzzies, Black chr*stians (or perhaps "chr*stians" should be in quotation marks), and homosexuals get along together so swimmingly? Never the slightest bit of tension or disagreement among them.

Hey, if everyone in the world were Black, moslem, or homosexual, there'd be no more wars!

Obama is far worse than just a socialist. His main goal is to totally destroy any and all traditional values and culture.

What is an appropriate gift to give someone during this joyous time

A tin of fudge. See how much you can pack into the can.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
