-Pres. Obama: June is Gay Pride Month
by Dr. D ~ June 3rd, 2009
In a presidential announcement on Monday, Pres. Obama recognized the LGBT movement by proclaiming June as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month."
As part of the proclamation the president said the following:
"The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect."
"I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexual around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans."
Obama also promised to continue to support legislation and change in the following–"hate crimes" laws, civil unions, discrimination in the workplace, adoption rights, and ending the military’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy.
Response: Evangelical Christians like myself do not consider this as ‘great progress’. This is coming from a president that hard a hard time coming up with a proclamation on the National Day of Prayer. Now the Gay activists get an entire month?
