WASHINGTON -- Countering criticism that he's done little on gay rights, President Obama commemorated the 40th anniversary of the birth of the modern movement by welcoming its leaders to the White House and reaffirming his commitment to their top priorities.
"I want you to know: You have our support," Obama told members of the core Democratic constituency as he and first lady Michelle Obama hosted a cocktail-and-appetizer reception in the East Room for gay pride month. It's been some four decades since the police raid on New York City's gay Stonewall Inn that spurred gay rights activism across the country.
As activists work to change minds and change laws, Obama added: "I will not only be your friend, I will continue to be an ally and a champion and a president who fights with you and for you."
Since Obama took office in January, some activists have complained that Obama has not followed through on his campaign promises on issues they hold dear and has not championed their causes from the White House, including ending the ban on gays in the military.
Obama pleaded for patience.
"I know many in this room don't believe that progress has come fast enough. And I understand that," Obama said. But he added: "I expect and hope to be judged not by words, not by promises I've made, but by promises that my administration keeps."
By the time he leaves office, the president said, "I think you guys will have pretty good feelings about the Obama administration."
The crowd erupted in cheers.
He noted that he has issued a presidential memorandum expanding some federal benefits to same-sex partners. Critics have noted that it doesn't include health benefits or pension guarantees.
Obama also reminded the audience that he has called on Congress to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which limits how state, local and federal bodies can recognize partnerships and determine benefits. Still, he added: "We have a duty to uphold existing law, but I believe we must do so in a way that does not exacerbate existing divides."
He said that does not mean he doesn't back a repeal of the law.
Obama also said the administration is working to pass an employee nondiscrimination bill and a hate crimes bill that includes protections for gays and lesbian, and he said it's committed to rescinding a ban on entry to the United States based on HIV status.
Obama reiterated his support for repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allows gays and lesbians to serve in the military as long as they don't disclose their sexual orientation or act on it.
He said he doesn't believe the policy makes the United State more secure, and he said his administration is working with Congress to develop a plan that will end the practice legislatively in a way that ensures the new policy works in the long term.

When Obama was younger he was drug user (he said it) and he was (is?) gay too.
-
What did you expect? He likes it up the butt.
-
So even he admits that HIV status has to do with being gay. So basically he wants to let more gays into the US to continue to destroy the moral fiber of America.
Unfortunately the moral fiber of America is being destroyed very efficiently from within and doesn't require any external help.
-
What's the answer then? Do you stone them to death in the public square?
Does Israel ban gays from military service?
I've only been here a short time, but the vitriol around here is eerily similar to sites dehumanizing us.

Speaking of dehumanizing....you do realize that forcing people to accept things that are illmoral
is a form of control, and controlling people falls into the category of dehumanizing.

No one's saying you have to be gay. The same reaction is apparent from many Americans who feel that multi-cultural political correctness, i.e., treating Jews as human beings and citizens is being forced down their throats.
I find it ironic that the upside down triangle from concentration camps is forgotten.
-
Obama is not at all concerned with his gay constituents.
It was simply his rhetoric for getting the gay vote on the campaign trail.
He has already ticked off the gays by not following through on him promises.
With Obama all his ridiculous promises are about getting the votes and funding.
Obama is more concerned with his Muslim "brethren" than the gays.

Jewish people are NOT suppose to take office in USA, we are suppose to only answer to G-d and UPHOLD the LAW.
These sick self-hating enemy Jews are hurting little Jews, and I feel like I am ready to EXPLODE b/c of IT.

I think he might be that gay himself: http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2008/05/11/james-manning-obama-closet-homosexual-reverend-manning-calls-obama-wright-closet-homosexuals/

Chad,
During Obama's campaign, there were quite a few reports about Obama's liaisons with Larry Sinclair.
And, Larry, even gave a couple of interviews and was supposed to give a press conference; when all of a sudden he sort of disappeared from the National scene.
I don't know what happened to Larry Sinclair and who and/or what got to him.
-
Hi ag337, I wondered the same thing myself. We heard about Larry Sinclair and then poof! He is nowhere to be found.
Did obama pay him off for his silence? Did obama pay larry sinclair's friends off?
I find it extremely odd that there were allegations, and then not.
Anything negative about obama gets buried without a trace.
Shalom - Dox

Hi Elizabeth,
I don't think he was paid off.
What I do think happened has something to do with some previous legal problems he had prior to him coming out about what went on between him and Obama.
I think that maybe, Obama pulled some strings and made Larry's legal problems even more so problematic for him than they already were.

I wish I was in the land of cottons old times there are not forgotten look away look away Obama is slave again. :jump:

PZ,
The only problem with that is, more than likely not Obama, nor any of his relatives were ever slaves in America's history.
He comes from a more so aristocratic family in Kenya (if there can even be something defined as such) and a White family in the U.S.A..
So, I really don't think there was any slavery in his family history.
As for his wife, she's another story.
She can probably pull a list of wrongs done to her ancestors by slavery in America.

No problem, then he will be slave. :laugh:

Is slavery now a part of Judaism? I think I missed that lesson.
