Every year he has been in office President Obama has made it a point to cozy up to Americas 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 years 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 years 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 Dont Ask, Dont 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 Dont Ask, Dont 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 cant believe Ive been in the Air Force 23 years living in secret, hiding who I am, and now Im 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 its also the golden rule treat others the way youd 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 arent 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 thats 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, Obamas 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 doesnt support it.
Thanks for the help.
Sounds about right to me.
Hilarious post! I had to stop and, yep.. There’s that certain smile there. LOL! Love the ‘Freddie Mercury’ mustache. LOL
“What makes you think “homosexual couplings” are common in the animal kingdom? They are not at all, particularly in the sense that you imply - that animals would have a specific preference for their gender over the opposite gender.”
I just googled “homosexual animal” and looked through the results. It’s not too difficult. Try it. I wasn’t trying to imply anything. I was just wondering why God allows homosexual activity in animals, since He could easily have prevented it altogether.
Cash. Money. Tons of it. PACs piled on PACs stacked on SuperPACs, trying for 20 years now to flush conservatism right out of the body politic with huge lube-jobs of targeted political money.
A couple of those PACs are in the habit of shooting max donations and steering/bundling lots more, to people opposing anyone with a smell of "family values" about him -- even at the alderman level, or county commissioner, or state representative in some flyover High Plains state like Iowa.
George W. Bush was cozying up to the Log Cabins back in 2000, while sending Rove around to hold hands with -- and lie to -- the Ralph Reed-led Christian Coalition Republicans, at the very same time Bush was dining in state with the Loggies, and his advance woman Mary Matalin was telling the gays that Bush favored SSM, opposition to which she branded "unfair". No, really -- it's out there. Old article from 10-12 years ago.
Money, tons of money, from people who never had to raise kids, but who have all sorts of hate for those who did.
The idea “thou shalt marry and be given in marriage” is corrupt and degenerate, which is an impossible immortality of a kind (i.e., eternal love), but not of the persons of men.
In your unabridged Oxford Dictionaries, the word “faggotry” denotes the bundling of steel to be hammered or rolled together.
Mammalian evolution is entirely heterosexual.
Monogamy is not required for evolution, monogamy is a tenet of religion.
To prohibit polyandry and polygyny is an ecclesiastic rule of law.
To establish an ecclesiastic standard of monogamy for homosexuals is nothing but RELIGIOUS FAGGOTRY.
All men are born of a woman.
If you have to tell grown men that babies will not come out of their rectums, there is no hope for any rational discourse...
The government of men’s external actions by religion, pretending the change of nature in their consecrations cannot be esteemed a work extraordinary, it is no other than a conjuration or incantation, whereby they would have men to believe an alteration of nature that is contrary to the testimony of sight and of all the rest of the senses.
The praeterpolitical power of the churches to institute monogamy as an ecclesiastic rule of law enabled them to determine the legitimacy of the succession of the pagan kings, abrogate the natural rights to property and self-defense, as well as gave them power of ecclesiastic censure for divorce.
The ecclesiastics would have men believe they will receive condign punishment for their contumacy of monogamy, as opposed to the freedom of the polygamy found in nature, which is inherently pagan.
This is a very good point cunningly elided by the Romneybots and RNC servitors of the would-be Masters of the Universe (aka the NWO).
My own strategery hopes for i) defeat of Romney as unworthy, deceitful, and way beyond unreliable for any patriot (he's even more NWO and, in the end, anti-American than Clinton or even Obozo), ii) election of 68 GOP senators to the U.S. Senate, iii) deposing of Boehner and McConnell as leaders of the congressional wing of the GOP (say, Darrell Issa in the House and someone like Saxby Chambliss in the Senate -- or name your own conservative stalwart), iv) impeaching, removing from office, and indicting Eric Holder (which ought to be Step 1, as part of a way to secure the defeat of the 'Rat senators who'll vote to acquit), and ultimately v) impeaching and removing from office Barack Obama, followed by vi) his and Nancy Pelosi's trials for felony election fraud and vii) Obama's and Bill Clinton's trials for high treason, corruption, and sale of their offices to foreign powers. viii) At some point, after Joe Biden is replaced with a real GOP conservative not named Willard, each and every E.O. signed by both Clinton and Obama would be expunged from the books, including Clinton's imposition of DADT and his impoundment of -- what was it? 22%? -- of the surface area of the State of Utah in national monuments created solely for the purpose of punishing Utah landowners for having voted GOP, and to buff Clinton's "green" credential at the expense of people who didn't vote for him.
Sound like a plan? Should keep us busy until at least the 2014 midterms.
