Obama Hosts LGBT Pride Reception, Vows To Be ‘Advocate’ By Olivier Knox

President Barack Obama promised a roomful of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) activists on Friday that he would be their "fellow advocate" as long as he is in the White House.

Obama, hosting an LGBT Pride Month reception in the mansion's ornate East Room, thanked gay servicemen and —women for their service and alluded to the fitful process that led him to publicly endorse same-sex marriage.

"Americans may be still evolving when it comes to marriage equality," he said to laughter and applause. "But as I've indicated personally, Michelle and I have made up our minds on this issue."

Prior to his historic reversal on the issue, Obama had said he was "evolving" on whether to back same-sex marriage. Aides insisted he had always planned to come out in favor even before Vice President Joe Biden forced his hand.

He's committing political suicide by catering to all of these fringe groups of voters thinking they can replace and multiply above the numbers he is losing.

His perception of mainstream America seems to come from watching network TV.

'His perception of mainstream America seems to come from watching network TV.'

As Oscar Wilde once said, "life imitates art". Or what the networks think passes for art.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

--H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Obama must have felt like he was back home in his gay bathhouse with his buddy Rahm. He gives new meaning to rollin’ with his homies.

>>>Rav Elya Weintraub says that the Chofetz Chaim explains as follows. "All innocent" and "all guilty" does not mean that everyone is on the same side of the fence. It just means that everyone sits squarely on one side of the fence. In order for the Moshiach to come the world must be completely polarized. Everyone must choose where they belong, with Hashem or Chas V'Shalom the opposite. <<<

Could someone please tell me why anyone should be “proud” of a bisexual? What is there to celebrate about these people that have multiple partners and are not obviously monogamous? Doesn’t this behavior lead to rampant spreading of STD’s and AIDS?

I wish someone would ask Obama these questions so we could get the answer.

Yeah, but bisexuals automatically double their chance of getting a date on Saturday night.

Well I've watched the heard from dusk ‘til dawn
But I did it with my britches on
You can have a chew, you can bum a smoke
But don't go reachin’ for my rope
I ain't goin’ down on Brokeback Mountan
No, I ain't goin’ down on Brokeback Mountain

That sh*t ain't right (That sh*t ain't right)
That sh*t ain't right (That sh*t ain't right)

I don't get the 'bi-sexual' issue, isn't the claim by the homosexuals that they are born that way?

How do the 'bi's. claim that as well?

Wonder if Louis Farrakhan Wolcott will have some more “fiery” rebukes for the POTUS . . .

Ah finally a man of the people, now if he can just find the midget, bearded women, lizard man, and sword swallowing activist groups for equallity I think he will have the election wrapped up.
