NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama sought the support of voters in the homosexual community Feb. 28, telling them in a letter that if elected president he would work to pass laws important to that constituency and would use the "bully pulpit" to urge states to grant same-sex couples the legal benefits of marriage.
The 770-word letter was posted on a section of Obama's campaign website devoted to homosexual issues. He and Hillary Clinton have worked for months to get the votes of the homosexual community, even appearing in August at a historic Democratic presidential forum devoted solely to homosexual issues.
In the letter, Obama touted his past record on such issues and said he would continue that record if elected. He used the acronym LGBT -- which stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender" -- six times.
"As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws," he wrote. "I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples -- whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage."
He once again said he backs the "complete repeal" of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a law passed in 1996 that gives states the option of not recognizing another state's "gay marriages." It also prohibits the federal government from recognizing "gay marriage." Ever since it was passed homosexual activists have viewed it as a significant legal barrier to nationwide legalization of "gay marriage."

Obama would almost certainly attempt to do away with the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy on gays and lesbians - and order that open homosexuals be accomodated (and protected) in that military.
This would effectively mean the end of our military.
It would be also counter to what most gays and lesbians currently serving in the military want. They have no desire to flaunt their sexual status. They are serving honorably at this time, as they have in the past, and oftentimes with distinction.
All 2% of the population.
The only way this clown is getting in the White House is if they start giving out tours again.
Have you considered running for the Senate?
If Obama does get elected to the presidency, then the White House residency will have to be changed to the Bozo The Clown House.
Ronald McDonald and Clarabelle are packing their bags for Belize.
Amazing!
Hey, B. Hussein Obama! Thanks for the free TV ad.
Yes, but he was better in Jaws and The Goodbye Girl.
Dems are gross. That’s some twisted coalition of freaks that they have to pander to.
That is hilarious!
It’s a wonder you didn’t get a cross burned on your lawn afterward! ROFL!!!
Unbelievable
“He’s channeling Mitt Romney during his run for the governorship.”
That one’s gonna leave a mark. Nothing hurts as much as the truth.
So I take it he’ll let the Chinese stomp all over us, won’t protect US citizenry abroad, or enforce the borders.
So basically he’s going to regress back to the time when we could afford to worry about such fripperies.
Just great.
Post it all you want! Happy to amuse you. I must admit I cracked myself up with that one. I can’t thank Hillary enough for providing the goofy starting pictures.
And the world waits with baited breath.... for the truth as to why Obama has such PASSION for the homosexual agenda...
After all - it has become fashionable to “come out of the closet”...
