Obama, Proclaiming LGBT Pride Month, Pushes Repeal of Defense of Marriage Act Wednesday, June 02, 2010 By Jane McGrath

(CNSNews.com) - Citing his commitment to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), President Obama on Friday issued a proclamation declaring June 2010 “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.”

The president also emphasized his intention to secure “adoption rights” for same-sex couples and end both employment discrimination against LGBT individuals as well as the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) compromise that bars homosexuals from serving openly in the military.

This is the second year that President Obama has declared June LGBT Pride Month, but it is the first time he has used the proclamation to call for repeal of DOMA.

“We see again president Obama trying to walk a tightrope on the marriage issue,” said Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow with Family Research Council. Obama “says we must give committed gay couples the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple and repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, [but] he doesn’t say right out that we should change the definition of marriage,” Sprigg noted.

This is what was implied if not promised to gay, lesbian and trans-gender voters who voted for him.  A president who will acknowledge and fight for their rights.

More desperation on his part. But, unlike DADT (which still has to play through the Senate), I don't see the House buying this at all. A lot of those Dems live in states that EASILY passed marriage amendments, defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

The key portion of DOMA, which makes Obama's job difficult, is the part that declares that states DO NOT have to recognize gay "marriages" from other states. 44 states define marriage as a one-man-one-woman union, 30 of them via state constitutional amendment.

Ha,ha ha ha,yes that trans gender voting block.A very powerfull source there.I bet there are literally millions and millions of trans gendered people out there.Good thing Obama has appeased them,because I'm sure losing their support would prove disastrous in Nov.

[Skip8282]

KC seems ok to me.  Lurker and Straw though?  Fuggeettaabboouuttiitt!   

I thought that Straw had said he was transgendered, not gay?
