It is high time for these lot to realise that their sexual liking should be their own private business and the last of issues this Govt has to face
Does this mean he’s going to roll out the carpet for the Lesbian community?
Absolute classic.
FUNNY, FUNNY HEADLINE

When it is all about POWER, POWER, POWER, the radical libs will do ANYTING for a vote. Yes, what else is new?
I wish he would throw “support” to the oppressed Iranians!
The gay community was never really hot and bothered by Obama.....Hilalry was their Ms. Thang. But of course, they went for the One instead of Mr. Pasty Face.
‘scuse me while I bleach my brain.
It could have been worded even better...
Like, 0bama gives a bone to...
or 0bama bones...
However, even so, nothing will EVER beat
“Police: Crack Found in Man’s Buttocks”
But was the bone big enough to satisfy them? :)
A big hard BONE?... Was it long and hard?..
