Every year he has been in office President Obama has made it a point to cozy up to America’s tiny homosexual activist minority by officially recognizing June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.” This year, of course, was no exception. Having just come out officially in favor of legalizing same-sex “marriage,” the President followed up on June 1 by issuing this year’s proclamation setting aside the entire month to commemorate the valuable contributions that gays, lesbians, transvestites, and an odds-and-ends assortment of sexually- and gender-confused individuals have made to American society.
“The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community has written a proud chapter” in American history, declared Obama with this year’s announcement. “From brave men and women who came out and spoke out, to union and faith leaders who rallied for equality, to activists and advocates who challenged unjust laws and marched on Washington, LGBT Americans and allies have achieved what once seemed inconceivable. This month, we reflect on their enduring legacy, celebrate the movement that has made progress possible, and recommit to securing the fullest blessings of freedom for all Americans.”
The President used the proclamation to remind the “gay” community of all he has done for its members, and how much homosexual voters owe him their support come November. “Since I took office, my administration has worked to broaden opportunity, advance equality, and level the playing field for LGBT people and communities,” Obama said. He pointed out that it was he who forced through the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act, bullied Congress into ending the common sense “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban on homosexuals serving in the military, and is currently doing everything he can to overturn the federal Defense of Marriage Act and legislate the redefinition of same-sex partnerships as “marriage.”
But “more remains to be done to ensure every single American is treated equally, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity,” continued the President. “Moving forward, my administration will continue its work to advance the rights of LGBT Americans,” he promised as he officially recognized June as “LGBT Pride” month and invited the American people to celebrate homosexuality as a normal — even praiseworthy — lifestyle.
On the heels of his proclamation, Obama appeared at a June 6 fundraiser attended by some 600 homosexual activists and “gay rights” supporters, including lesbian talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres and 1970s pop singing star and actress Cher, whose own daughter went through “gender reassignment” and changed her name from Chastity to “Chaz” in an effort to live as a man.
OneNewsNow.com reported that Obama “appeared to feed off the energy” of the crowd as he pledged to block any attempt at the reinstatement of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban. Signing the repeal of that ban, Obama said, was a high-water mark for him as President.
On June 5, Stars and Stripes, the government-funded armed forces newspaper, described the results of the lifting of that ban, joyfully reporting that homosexual military personnel openly celebrated their lifestyle at a special “LGBT Pride” reception thrown by the U.S. Ambassador to Japan in Tokyo. “I can’t believe I’ve been in the Air Force 23 years living in secret, hiding who I am, and now I’m invited to a reception by the emissary of the president of the United States,” Stars and Stripes quoted one attendee, Air Force Master Sgt. Marc Maschhoff.
The military newspaper reported that the event “was an exciting and emotional night for Maschhoff and a handful of other U.S. servicemembers. Maschhoff traveled with his boyfriend — who is also an airman — from Misawa Air Base in northern Japan to Tokyo for the event. Maschhoff said he was invited by the embassy because of his affiliation with the group Outserve, a Washington, D.C.-based association for gay servicemembers with chapters worldwide.”
Amazingly, President Obama has appealed to his supposed Christian faith to justify his support for normalizing the homosexual lifestyle through the force of his office. OneNewsNow reported that on the same day he made his “LGBT Pride” proclamation, and right after a group of black pastors asked to meet with him over their concerns about his endorsement of same-sex marriage as a civil right, “the president pointed to his wife and told ABC News, ‘When we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it’s also the golden rule — treat others the way you’d want to be treated.’”
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality pointed out that the President is behaving “as if rights based on perverse and immoral behavior are basic rights…. Of course, those aren’t basic rights. Basic rights are what we all share as Americans. Rights based on perversion, on changeable homosexual sin, are not basic rights.” He added that “for a man like Obama, who professes to be a faithful Christian, to be celebrating an agenda based on using the government to create rights based on changeable homosexual behavior — that’s a travesty.”
Bob Stith, a strategist on gender issues for the Southern Baptist Convention and head of its Task Force on Ministry to Homosexuals, told Baptist Press News that Obama is purposefully casting “all those who have a genuine, biblically based belief that homosexual acts are sin as haters.” But, he added, “it is not prejudicial to say that certain acts which have been viewed as sin for over 3,000 years by all three major religions are still sin.”
Stith added that the “words the president uses in his drive to normalize homosexuality clearly portray any who disagree with him as prejudiced bigots. Those who agree are loving and brave. The danger here is that those who dare to seek to protect the definition of marriage which has stood unchallenged for thousands of years are themselves the victims of prejudice and hate.”
Sadly, Stith said, Obama’s “LGBT Pride” proclamation “shows no interest in preventing this kind of bigotry. Rather it is another example that if something is repeated often enough it will be accepted as truth even if the evidence doesn’t support it.”
This from a man who considers it “punishment” if his daughters get pregnant from engaging in sexual activity.
He’s a prissy man-child who is anti-breeder. What do you expect from a man who was raised by a transvestite nanny and is proud of his skepticism of “organized religion”?
Cher rejected her daughter after Chastity came out of the closet. Sonny Bono was the one who still cared for her.
Cher may have "evolved" on this issue but the public deserves to know the truth when her name and celebrity are being used to promote "supporters".
Stonewall was about a mob run speakeasy being busted by the cops. Should have let the ATF storm in instead.
Lefties never grill other lefties about their past. That treatment is reserved for conservatives and moderates.
They also empire build by bringing their co-horts into academia, medicine, and other institutions.
Workplace relationships are considered a “bad thing” if you are heterosexual because that may imply monogamy and tolerance of persons of different sexes. Homosexuals play the field and can’t discriminate against a lover of the “same sex”.
Be proud of yourself. You are smarter and more patriotic than Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Reagan, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, Scott Walker, etc, all of whom will be campaigning for Romney.
vERY TRUE TY
The rainBO, of course.
Next month is Breeder Pride Month, a/k/a Gay Recruit-making Month.
Celebrate fist-f***ing.
And you have to admit that Romney's actual record is that of a leftist Democrat. That is a FACT. The scariest part of this is how firmly conservatives are squeezing their eyes shut, and how firmly they are planting their fingers in their ears, to what Romney is, while chanting: ABO ABO ABO .. We can't survive another four years of Obama .... we can't survive another four years of Obama ..."
Look at Romney's record.
I respect my own common sense. I like Levin and Rush, Palin, Gingrich, etc, and I think they're pretty smart. I don't see the ones I respect most campaigning for Romney; all I see them doing is mouthing ABO. It's pretty obvious that Palin is reluctant as hell to even acknowledge Romney -- because her instincts, like mine, her common sense, like most FReepers', is telling her that Romney stinks.
I'm just heeding my common sense.
Romney's administration in Mass. was very gay friendly, issuing several official proclamations during his governorship (you can look it up) in celebration of Gay Youth Pride, which includes middle schools in its "outreach." Kids as young as 12 -- that's Romney.
It's really a bad sign when conservatives object to Obama on the grounds that he's gay friendly ... and rail at me for refusing to commit ABO with Romney.
Common sense is quietly confirming: Romney would be a mistake.
Turkey Lovers’ Month is for the benefit of all the Obomba worshippers....especially Chrissy Matthews.
In other words, June has become “making choice to be gay month”.
The problem is that, no other conservaitve alternate canidiates at all, period.
The reason why conservative folks are not going out of their way in regards to Romney is because priority #1 is GET OBAMA OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, PERIOD. Obama CANNOT have a second term or the USA as we know of it is FINISHED.
yup... and i STILL wish i didn't know what it was
bingo...
It is not those mentioned names are not smart or do not care, it is that, as I have posted, getting Obama OUT has to be #1.
The position is that with a conservative House and soon to be conservative Senate WILL put Romney’s feet to the fire. Not possible under Obama.
