Check it out for yourself. But if you just want the lowdown, here it is . . . edited somewhat. You want to read the whole story, be my guest. Just Google "Obama gay rights" and see what ya get!
Barack Obama will fight for equal rights for gays, Michelle Obama told a gay Democratic group Thursday.
"Barack believes that we must fight for the world as it should be, a world where together we work to reverse discriminatory laws," she said to a group of gays and lesbians.
Michelle Obama also drew a connection between the struggles for gay rights and civil rights.
"We are all only here because of those who marched and bled and died, from Selma to Stonewall, in the pursuit of a more perfect union," she said at the event, held days before the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots between gays and New York police, and the city's annual gay pride parade.
"The world as it is should be one that rejects discrimination of all kinds," she said.
Touting her husband's record pushing for workplace discrimination legislation as an Illinois state senator and his support of civil unions, Obama noted her husband also had brought a call for equality to conservative groups, telling churchgoers they need to combat homophobia in the black community.
The Illinois senator opposes a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and says states should make their own decisions on the matter. He has said he's interested in ensuring that same-sex couples in civil unions get federal benefits.
Michelle Obama's speech brought a standing ovation from the crowd of about 200 donors, who raised about $1.3 million, organizers said.
Yeah, THAT'S the change we need, RIGHT? Same sex marriage???? Federal benefits for "domestic partners?" This is a SICK liberal agenda, and America needs to PUT THE KOOL-AID DOWN and start PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON!!!! How can a man with SO MANY RADICAL LEFT WING ASSOCIATIONS AND POSITIONS EVEN BE IN CONTENTION FOR THE WHITE HOUSE? EQUAL rights for gays? What a joke.

If Obama is so ardent on "Gay Rights" (when did perversion become a civil rights issue?)then I volunteer to be the first one to bend him over and give him a feel of my ....
the point is, he can say WHATEVER HE WANTS, do WHATEVER HE WANTS, and NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, they all just ignore him so he can pander to whatever group he wants without paying a price to the masses. It is an evil but brilliant tactic.
There goes the neighborhood!
