Gay All The Time

Barack Obama’s wife spoke about what her husband, if elected, would do for Gay Rights, as he did for Black Rights, in that he would push for equality, for opposing a ban on same sex marriage on a federal level, leaving the matter for the States to decide.

Fact is, 44 States have some form of state constitution amendment banning same sex marriage. So what is he going to do about that little obstacle?

So does his support mean anything, and is this just another ‘surrogate‘ telling an audience what they want? I would like to hear Barack Obama take that stand, make that pledge himself.

NEW YORK – Barack Obama will fight for equal rights for gays just as he fought to help working-class families overcome poverty, the Democratic presidential hopeful’s wife told a gay Democratic group. (source – MSNBC News)

Maybe it is just that Gays have been led down the garden path before. Remember Bill Clinton who lovingly gave us ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell‘ and let’s not forget the other candidate, John McCain. He opposed a federal constitution amendment, but worked hard to get one passed in his home state. So just how Gay Friendly are either of these candidates?

While Obama has said that DADT (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) is counterproductive, he HAS YET TO SAY HE’D REPEAL IT. Even Hilary Clinton NEVER said she would either, and we know John McCain isn’t about to, given how he thinks it works just fine.

Makes you wonder, how can anyone run for President when they ARE NOT PREPARED TO STAND UP FOR EVERY CITIZEN. I mean are Gay’s simply not have the VOTING CLOUT of say the EVANGELICALS that both Obama & McCain are cozying up to? Heck, they must have the CLOUT, given how they seem to feel it is their God Given Right to choose the REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
