Former President Barack Obama wrote a letter defending LGBTQ+ books in children’s schools and public libraries as Republican-led states move to restrict them amid growing concern from parents.“Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or
perspectives,” Obama tweeted along with a letter. “And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.” [Obama wrote]

WASHINGTON DC, June 4, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Unlike President Obama who famously lit up the White House with the colors of rainbow flag, for the second year in a row President Donald J. Trump has chosen to let gay ‘Pride Month’ slide by with no official recognition. The
LGBT world has expressed displeasure with the President’s silence on the issue. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC)––the behemoth Washington, DC LGBT lobbying firm––sent out a tweet claiming that the silence is an indication the current administration wants to “erase” the presence of gays:

Nightmare Before Christmas: Trump Re-Nominates Architect of Obama’s LGBT Agenda Chai Feldblum to EEOC. ( Full title ). President
Donald Trump has re-nominated radical sexual identity activist Chai Feldblum, the architect of former resident Barack Obama’s LGBT agenda, to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Feldblum is a nightmare of a nominee for those who value religious freedom, private property rights, and the science-based standard that there are two sexes – male and female. As Obama’s most liberal gender ideology activist, Feldblum has said that whenever LGBT issues conflict with religious liberty and private property rights, religious liberty and private...

Trump breaks with Obama tradition of designating June as ‘LGBT Pride Month’

lifesitenews.com ^
| June 2, 2017 | Peter LaBarbera
May 2, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — President Trump is not celebrating June as “LGBT Pride Month” with an official proclamation, like his predecessor Barack Obama did every year, although various federal agencies are still holding “pride” events and making pro-LGBT statements. The
Washington Blade, a newspaper for homosexuals in the nation’s capital, reports that Trump is “breaking with a tradition started under the Obama administration” by not issuing the “gay pride” declaration, which irked social conservatives year after year in the beginning of June. In what is obviously a bitter pill for homosexual and gender-confusion (“transgender”) activists to swallow, the Blade...

In a pretty clear message to liberal LGBT activists who seem to think Donald Trump will revoke gay Americans’ rights and start stoning queer people to death in the streets, the White House on Tuesday released a statement Tuesday saying the 45th president will uphold an Obama-era executive order that protects LGBTQ
individuals who work for federal contractors from workplace discrimination. Here’s the brief statement in full, as posted on whitehouse.gov:

It was a new look for the White House, bathed in rainbow colors to celebrate the Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex marriage nationwide. President
Barack Obama, who was inside, felt the glow on that June night in 2015. “To see people gathered in the evening outside on a beautiful summer night, and to feel whole and to feel accepted, and to feel that they had a right to love — that was pretty cool,” he said a few days later. “Pretty cool.” That might be a fair description of how Obama himself is viewed by legions of lesbian, gay, bisexual...

President Obama Designates Stonewall a National Monument (LGBT monument)

On June 28, 1969, patrons at a gay bar in New York City's West Village neighborhood decided they had finally had enough after yet another police raid. As
the NYPD attempted to enforce a law making it illegal to serve alcohol to "homosexuals," the resistance of the bar patrons turned into an uprising - the Stonewall Uprising - an event now widely credited with sparking the modern LGBTQ rights movement in the U.S. Now, nearly 50 years later, that same location - where members of the community stood up to government injustice - has been designated a new national monument...

Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) continues to stand firmly in demented opposition to the God of all creation. Last
week, Obama signed a presidential proclamation declaring June 2016 to be "LGBT" Pride Month. Some might shrug this off as no big deal, but this is a very big deal. This is the President of the United States, on behalf of our nation, officially celebrating pride of sin, sin the Bible calls an abomination to God. And, far from being "love," God's Word calls homosexuality and related behaviors exactly what they are: "vile affections." What Obama has done is...

President Obama said Friday that laws affecting LGBT rights in North Carolina and Mississippi are “wrong” and should be reversed in court. The
president, speaking at a news conference in London, also urged British people not to be afraid of visiting the two southern states, saying they would find “hospitable people” there. The British foreign office has issued a travel advisory warning its citizens about potential problems for gay or transgender people visiting those states. “The laws that have been passed there are wrong and should be overturned,” Mr. Obama said. “They’re in response to politics in part, in part...

Mississippi and North Carolina ought to rethink their laws affecting the rights of its LGBT citizens, President Barack Obama said Friday, while inviting all Britons to visit the states nonetheless. Before
ending a news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, Obama fielded a question about the United Kingdom issuing travel advice to its citizens on Friday about the new laws in Mississippi and North Carolina that affect the rights of British LGBT travelers. Attempting to assuage concerns and not offend the citizens of those states, Obama told the British people that they should come visit North Carolina and Mississippi,...
