Michelle Obama Praises Husband's Commitment to Homosexuals
CNS News Service ^ | July 1, 2008 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 07/01/2008 7:44:51 AM PDT by Zakeet

The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told a crowd of homosexual activists last week that her husband wants to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and reverse the rule on homosexuals in the military. Michelle Obama also drew parallels with homosexual advocacy groups and the civil rights movement, referring to events "from Selma to Stonewall."

Speaking to the Democratic National Committee's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Committee last Thursday in New York City, Michelle Obama said her husband supports "a world where federal laws don't discriminate against same-sex relationships, including equal treatment for any relationship recognized under state law."

"That is why he supports robust civil unions," she said. "That is why he has said the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide for themselves how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples -- whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union or a civil marriage."

The Illinois senator has spoken little about homosexual issues on the campaign trail, but a position paper on his Web site says that Obama wants to "fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure 1,100-plus federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally recognized unions."

But don’t expect John McCain to take advantage of this statement.

Somehow a ‘position paper’ on homosexual rights comes across as humorous...

I wonder if at some point Barry will throw homosexuals under his infamous bus.

Of course McCain will say nothing. He opposed the marriage amendment.

That is just to get the homosexual’s vote and money. If he is elected you will see the committment to homosexuals disappear. And his committment to islam and sheria law appear.

The full title of the military policy is Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue, Don't Harass. Odd how they managed to make the official policy sound gay.

"In a previous interview, Barack Obama said he believed that Jesus' Sermon on the Mount justified same-sex unions."

He drew this conclusion from the fact that the word MOUNT was in the title.

I am going to check in on my old Alma Mater. The article quotes Lynn Wardle, a professor of law at Brigham Young University, and refers to Lynn as “she”. Last time I looked, “she” was a “he”. Given that he is opposing the repeal of DOMA, I doubt he underwent a sex change operation. ;o)

Hillary never came out of the closet, and I don’t expect Obama to, either. But I can readily believe that he is gay or bisexual.

There were those charges, which were NOT really disproved by the lie detector test. Also, there is his family background—an absent father, brought up mostly by females. That doesn’t make anyone homsexual, but it increases the odds. It’s one reason why AIDS is fairly common among blacks, as Rev. Wright complained. Lots of absent fathers among the welfare population, lots of gays as a result, and lots of gay sex and drug use, with shared needles.

And yet she would force a state to recognize a fake marriage of two of its citizens that hopped a quickie flight to San Fran for the weekend and returned??

If he really believes that then he's a complete, blithering, drooling imbecile.

Matthew 7:17-20 “Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”

I see no fruit whatsoever in the life of Barak Hussein Obama. He can run but he can’t hide from his baby-murdering, anti-gun, anti-military, gay marriage, tax & spend, pro-Islam, limp-wristed record. He is in the simplest terms a pawn of Satan, and needs to be recognized as such.

I don’t think you have to be particularly religious to understand that the destruction of the institution of marriage leads to all kinds of social pathologies that have a general negative effect.
