Obama Faces Gay Groups' Growing Anger
CBS News ^ | June 15, 2009 | by Brian Montopoli

Posted on 06/15/2009 3:47:26 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The anger from gay rights advocates toward President Obama is starting to boil over.

On Monday, Joe Solmonese, the president of the establishment gay rights group The Human Rights Campaign, sent an angry letter to the president objecting to the decision by the Obama Justice Department to file a brief defending the Defense of Marriage Act.

"I realized that although I and other LGBT leaders have introduced ourselves to you as policy makers, we clearly have not been heard, and seen, as what we also are: human beings whose lives, loves, and families are equal to yours," Solmonese wrote. "I know this because this brief would not have seen the light of day if someone in your administration who truly recognized our humanity and equality had weighed in with you."

Many of the staffers in the Obama White House also served under President Bill Clinton, and they remember well how much political capital taking on gay rights cost Clinton early in his administration. But while gay rights advocates signaled sympathy to those concerns early in the Obama administration, their patience appears to be running out.

I guess that the homosexuals who want so badly for us to approve of their creepy sex habits that they put their sexual proclivities out in the streets (depraved folks like to shock and freak out others) thinking that if we see them parade or protest we will sympathize with their plight. HUH? What plight? That they want recognition for boinking with people of their same gender? OH ICK! They want the right to marry, legally, destroying then the meaning of marriage for all. Forget it. They have a problem and if they are proud of it, then they can go to their homosexual haunts and keep their icky junk to themselves. Btw-they know its depraved. And they know it is filthy. They, uh, just can not help themselves. Right.

And I guess they are not only radically messed up in their heads regarding genuine sexual mating but they must also be STUPID to think that a MUSLIM is going to help um out.

Do they not see uhbama for what he is...I mean, if that creep isn't a Muslim, he is certainly a Muslim sympathizer...and daddy was a Muslim...and his granddaddy...and his relatives in Africa...and well, ol Barack under his first name, Barry, attended Muslim schools, and learned the Muslim way of doing things. ( Although I doubt he beats Michelle when she messes up, I mean, that girl looks like she can fight back-maybe that is why she lifts weights!)

Barry speaks fluent Arab, probably reads his Koran in Arabic and knows how to woo the Mussys. So I suspect he had NO TIME for homosexuals in his heart...after all....Muslims behead homosexuals as they are considered an affront to Allah, mere twisted animals over there.

I’m surprised CBS didn’t call them right-wing extremists.

Get over it, what makes you think that once your usefulness to this clueless, Godless, arrogant phony TOTUS was over he would not throw your group under the bus.

It’s all about HIM, first, last and always.

Join the crowd, I mean those who fell for his BS hook,line and sinker.

"I realized that although I and other LGBT leaders have introduced ourselves to you as policy makers...."

A group of disordered individuals think of themselves as "policy makers." Hmm.

"...we clearly have not been heard, and seen, as what we also are: human beings whose lives, loves, and families are equal to yours."

The lives, loves, and "families" are based on a lie. These never will be equal.

"I know this because this brief would not have seen the light of day if someone in your administration who truly recognized our humanity and equality had weighed in with you."

Equal in human dignity, despite their self debasement.

The "radical religious right" who you mock and detest, values you more than you can possibly imagine. You can obtain all that you think are your "civil rights," even our silence, but you'll never be happy. An inner misery is the nature of your condition.

But we "extremists" want your happiness, based on truth and wholeness, in this life and the one to come.

“...we also are: human beings whose lives, loves, and families are equal to yours...”

That simply is not true, and the Family Research Council has proven it. These people are sexual fanatics and could care less as to what marriage has meant through the millenia.

These people need to be stopped - so that our kids and grandkids have a country to live in.

There aren’t too many things that muslims and Christians agree on, but homosexuality is one of them.

Obama can hardly go to the mideast with glowing homosexual credentials and expect to get them to support his entire agenda for them.

He must find a way to throw bones to them regarding his 2d administration.

I suspect that nearly all of Zero's supporters in the media will continue to carry his water. They'll find a way to blame it all on Carrie Prejean and the Mormons.
