Obama White House Calls for Repealing Defense of Marriage Act
CNSNews ^ | 1/21/2009 | Matt Cover

President Barack H. Obama is poised to be the most pro-homosexual chief executive in history.

Unveiling his agenda Tuesday on the newly refurbished version of the White House Web site, Obama called for the repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), as well as the extension of more than 1,000 federal marriage benefits and of adoption rights to homosexual couples.

The new administration laid out its plans on the Web site--whitehouse.gov--at 12:01 p.m. EST, during Obama’s swearing-in ceremony.

The site’s “Civil Rights” section lists a number of items long on the homosexual agenda, including expanding federal hate-crimes laws, repealing the ban on homosexuals in the military and extending the definition of workplace discrimination to include sexual orientation.

In the section entitled “Support for the LGBT (Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgendered) Community,” the Web site says Obama wants full inclusion of homosexual couples under federal law.

“President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples,” the Web site says.

“Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100-plus federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples.” the Web site says....

BTW, the argument the homosexuals make on foster or adopted children is demonstrably false. But they don’t care ~ to them it’s just more fresh meat.

I blame Republicans, in large part for this. In 2000 this issue should have been defined, and very clearly so!

It should have been etched in stone! That a behavior or position that is not illegal, DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A CIVIL RIGHT! Civil rights are explicitly defined in the bill of rights. Legal.......and CIVIL RIGHTS, are NOT one in the same. Just because something is not outlawed does not make it your civil right. How much plainer can it be put?

Republicans dropped the ball on this issue and many others, by not defining them. Instead they allowed liberals to redefine a whole slew of them, to the detriment of children and family, and indeed the entire country. Now, we have the rude, depraved class in charge.

If so--and if it appears that he will succeed--we had better be looking seriously for somewhere else to go. <

The sad truth is there really aren't that many alternatives of places to go. Better to stand and fight. The people who voted for this fool have screwed all of us.

so the first two things he has done is not Israel and the middle east, not Iraq nor is it Afghanistan nor is it social security or the economy.

yep it is have homo’s openly in the military and yep get benefits for homo’s and ignore the will of the people and their votes they cast over the years.

there goes states rights under obama

seems his agenda here is screw everything else let the homo’s run wild

Come on, you know marriage isn't what homosexuals are after by now, don't you? It is all about hate crimes laws and getting into schools with indoctrination and keeping it there.

And to quote Brokaw to us: “Take this”

So we get to measure the Dems by their pride and joy. If they had any shame they’d be shamed. I only hope our Country survives let alone our constitution.

I want to see the media play the tape of Biden saying that he and obama do not support homo marriage and now they do

talk about a flip flop and where is the media.

This should be front headlines, since this is the first things he is going to do.

well done obama cult you idiots, states right will be gone, teaching your kids anal sex at school, and all the other perverted disgusting acts

You are a thief (and only a wanna-be of one for that). A bully. Not satisfied with your own vote, you demand to control the vote of others. What is the difference between and the average GOP Senator? Your vote elected what?

Quislings, irresponsible men and women.

The politicians love you and your vote! It is cheap. They merely have to get on the ticket and you are owned.

Line votes like yours continue the irresponsibility.

I will NEVER again pull the lever for a man or woman running for higher office when that candidate hasn't shown a tested commitment to principle, solid integrity, demonstrated energy for the position, and most important of all -- who is honest. I shall not vote for the "better" of two sad choices. My vote must count, and it will.

Start when the Mycenaean Age suddenly burnt out and the “Dark Age” started.

Colonial times before the English took over or when the Spanish started to settle as well as the French and Dutch later on in the north? When banns started or when marriage licenses replaced banns starting around the 1680-90’s?

Reproduction contracts? Yea that would fit people who were primarily Christian or Jewish who formed Western Civilization since Constantine. Before that marriage was though to ensure civilization's survival (Research my first sentence above).

Homosexuality used to be considered a mental illness.
Now, they’ve inflated their numbers to 1 in 10 (heard that lie recently?) to make themselves appear “normal”.

Recently, the APA has floated the idea of reclassifying pedophilic rape as “adult-child sex” and has been touting the benefits of same to the child involved. The UN has a treaty ready to be ratified by the democRat senate that includes “freedom of sexual expression” - which would include sex with adults.

Yes, CHILDREN are the next target.

we have laws for a reason and the law states quite simply that a man and a woman can marry.

Now if we did not have that law we would have all sorts of marriages and idiots wanting benefits for themselves.
man marries his daughter
woman marries her son
man marries his dog
and so on

and yes there are people out there who would have all sorts of weird marriages.

So according to the voters the law is simple and yes Govt should have a law other wise we would have chaos

Making the same mistake Clinton did. Fitting since most of his new administration is Clintonoids.

If you have political capital to spend, spend it on something that’s going to make your legacy no matter which party gets elected next.

Fix social security, or medicare, or the banks. Defense of marriage act isn’t going to save anybody’s job.

It also guts the thrust of yesterday’s speech - “Where government works for people, we move ahead”

This guy has MUCH bigger fish to fry than the homosexual question.

agreed

the Govt has a law because many wack jobs would marry anything and everything.
if the Govt is not included into this then we have chaos and anarchy.

We live in 2009 not 1597 where Govt wasn’t around

I am with you! I have been married for 21 years (Feb 1st will be 22) and we did not get our federal benefits package! I mean, does it look like a company benefits package? Maybe an “informative pamphlet” from Pueblo, Colorado?

I don’t know because I didn’t get mine! Can someone send me a website with the corresponding information? Thanks, Sgt
