The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told a crowd of homosexual activists last week that her husband wants to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and reverse the rule on homosexuals in the military. Michelle Obama also drew parallels with homosexual advocacy groups and the civil rights movement, referring to events "from Selma to Stonewall."
Speaking to the Democratic National Committee's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Committee last Thursday in New York City, Michelle Obama said her husband supports "a world where federal laws don't discriminate against same-sex relationships, including equal treatment for any relationship recognized under state law."
"That is why he supports robust civil unions," she said. "That is why he has said the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide for themselves how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples -- whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union or a civil marriage."
The Illinois senator has spoken little about homosexual issues on the campaign trail, but a position paper on his Web site says that Obama wants to "fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure 1,100-plus federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally recognized unions."
The DOMA has two parts: one defines marriage as between a man and a woman, and the second part says a homosexual marriage in one state does not have to be recognized in another state.

Michelle Obama Woos Gays
It’s nice she can spend quality time with her baby’s daddy.
He went to a lot of trouble to cover his life style.
Take a look at that Wright tape with the G-D Amerikkka and watch the way he minces!
Woos literally because she looka like a man.
Since Sinclair is persona-non-grata, I guess they need a new threesome partner.
If Obama hasn’t locked up the GLBT base of the Democratic Party yet, they are in real trouble.
“Michelle Obama Woos Gays

Yep, I’m sure this is a hot issue that’s near and dear to his..ah, umm,...heart.
Yeah, I thought the move was to “pivot to the center” (i.e. lie his ass off about how leftwing he is) on this just like he’s doing on everything else. Which would mean a whole lot more vaporous doubletalk on the subject. If he’s worried about keeping the gays in the boat, he’s already sunk.
That’s a funny tag line.
I would think that quite a few straight, Church-going Blacks might not like having their fight for civil rights compared to the “rights for perverts” crowd!

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”
(From The Audacity Of Hope, “We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
NICE TRY, BARACK HUSSEIN MOHAMMED OBAMA!!
Protestants comprise 51.3% of its population, Roman Catholics 23.9%, Mormons 1.7%, other Christian 1.6%, Jewish 1.7%, Buddhist 0.7%, Muslim 0.6%. — That’s 78.5% of its population who are Christian — Source: CIA World Fact Book)
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

Sure Meeeeeeeshell.....hubbie is just adhering to the 'Sermon on the Mount' divine guidance. Forget about that Leviticus 18:22 passage....
Well, eight months ago he had a different approach. Now that's ancient history, since he figures he's got the Black vote sewn up. What's interesting is that now he's using Michelle as the messenger of "hopey change" to the gay community, rather than addressing the issue himself. Here's a blast from the past, anyhow:
Obama's gospel concerts raise hornet's nest of a dilemma
Isn’t Michelle just adorable.
Is this speech a run up to the big Larry-Barry reveal?
Thank you. ;-)

Oops! Assumed this was about Michelle wooing Larry Sinclair! My bad.
