White House Issues Statement on Gay Pride Month

Filed Under Barack Obama, DADT, Gays, Lesbians | 1 Comment

The White House just issued a statement on LGBT Pride 2009. This will annoy the hell out of anti-gay organizations like AFA and NOM:

Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.

LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. LGBT Americans also mobilized the Nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic and have played a vital role in broadening this country’s response to the HIV pandemic.

It’s nice to see Obama claims he respects the contributions the gay community makes to society. He can prove it by repealing Clinton’s DADT and DOMA.

Read the rest of the statement.
