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 Obamas swearing-in ceremony.
The sites 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....

It seems President Obama wants an all out war on numerous fronts.
These are the categories specific to gays he seems to want to take on.
Support for the LGBT Community
“While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It’s about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect.”
— Barack Obama, June 1, 2007
Expand Hate Crimes Statutes:
Fight Workplace Discrimination:
Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights forLGBT Couples:
Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage:
Repeal Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell:
Expand Adoption Rights:
Promote AIDS Prevention:
Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS:
So it begins.
Many states prevent homosexual marriage, but that will all be out the window if the Defense of Marriage Act is repealed.
All states will be compelled to recognize homosexual marriages performed in other states as legally binding.
It was 53%.
The Great Unifier barely got a majority, although you wouldn’t know it given the slobbering press adulation.
This does not make sense since the government (courts) need to have specific definitions in order to adjudicate cases and contracts. A simple definition of marriage nationwide will suffice.
Marriage is the underpinning of civilization and the government must have a vested interest in protecting the institution in order for society to survive and flourish.
You may be right. It remains to be seen.
so is it now ok for some of our commentators to stop praying for him and giving him time to adjust, and start hammering him like they are getting paid for?!
I'm thinking that in no more than two years it will be difficult to find a caucasion who will admit to voting for The Cypher (other than those employed by the government or government schools).
That’s how you fix the economy.
BS.
by the way, there was never any need for you to worry about any of us “stealing votes” from your precious John McCain. Many more people voted for Ralph Nader than for Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr combined. Which is really quite sad.
Obozo is doing his best to ensure that the wrath of God comes upon him. Guess what? I believe it will.
This announcement was paid for by Soros and company.
Hurray for your priest! So many are scared it will effect the “plate” if they preach the TRUTH!
Crime and Law Enforcement
Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
I voted for him for the chance that we’d have a Palin presidency. If it hadn’t been for her, I probably would have just voted on the downticket races so we could get someone better in 2012. There’s no way Obama will be a two-term president. You can put that in stone.
