Paste your docume(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama issued a statement on Saturday indicating that he and First Lady Michelle Obama would commemorate this Sunday as "the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia."
In the statement, the preisdent said he is working to "address the specific needs of transgender persons."
Here is the president's statement :
Michelle and I join our fellow Americans and others around the world in commemorating the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia tomorrow, May 17. We take this opportunity to reaffirm that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights are human rights, to celebrate the dignity of every person, and to underscore that all people deserve to live free from fear, violence, and discrimination, regardless of who they are or whom they love.
We work toward this goal every day. Here at home, we are working to end bias-motivated violence, combat discrimination in the workplace, and address the specific needs of transgender persons. Overseas, I am proud of the steps that the United States has taken to prioritize the protection and promotion of LGBT rights in our diplomacy and global outreach.
There is much more to do, and this fight for equality will not be won in a day. But we will keep working, at home and abroad, and we will keep fighting, for however long it takes until we are all able to live free and equal in dignity and rights.nt here
Bastard.
Doesn’t he care about trans specism?
Celebrate perversity!
So if a man has fleeting irrational thoughts that he is a woman despite all evidence to the contrary, he suddenly acquires a whole new set of rights?
And why is any time or effort of the nation’s chief executive and his many staffers being spent on such trifles?
Why not? He thinks he is the king of the world.
Please tell me this is The Onion or John Semmens' writing.
June 11th is “Appreciate White People Day”. I’ve got it marked.
I guess I’ll be wearing my Chick-fil-a shirt tomorrow.
For the Children!
> How has it come to this - that madmen like ISIS get to make such threats against the US and we do nothing to wipe them out. I mean wipe them off the face of the earth.
As soon as he leaves office the faux staged marriage will end and he will go Bruce Jenner on us
Transphobia? Does that include and irrational fear of transfats?
Sexual deviant freaks in the White House. Bad idea AMERICA!
Joan Rivers had it right...he’s gay and his ‘wife’ is a tranny.
He's been to bath houses in 12 countries now, so he's the international expert.
Whymdoesnt he go to church for a change?
How about anti-whitey-phobia?
Agreed
I will remember Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and Ambassador Stevens.
It is disgusting that people with severe mental problems are celebrated rather than helped with their illness.
