“Simply Unprecedented”
President Obama and the Gay Rights Movement
Posted: Monday, October 12, 2009 at 4:41 am ET
"This was a historic night when we felt the full embrace and commitment
of the President of the United States. It's simply unprecedented."
Those words were spoken by Joe Salmonese, president of the Human Rights
Campaign, just after President Barack Obama spoke to the group's 13th
annual national dinner.
The Human Rights Campaign is one of the leading organizations promoting
what it describes as "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
civil rights." The group's annual dinner, held Saturday night, featured
well-known politicians and entertainers popular in the LGBT community,
as well as an appearance by the President of the United States.
President Obama's speech was a matter of controversy long before he
arrived. Though pledging soon after his election to be what he called a
"fierce advocate" for gay rights, the President has frustrated the gay
rights community with what they see as inaction and hesitation in
dealing with their agenda.
Indeed, the Obama administration has been under sustained pressure from
the gay rights community -- a crucial sector of its political support
-- and the HRC dinner was seen as an opportunity for the President to
reassert his identification with gay supporters. Mr. Obama was the
second sitting president to appear at an HRC dinner. President Bill
Clinton appeared before the group in 1997.
Addressing the group, President Obama spoke of the obstacles in the way
of the agenda hoped for by gay activists. The President told the group
that they faced a continuing fight, adding: "I'm here with you in that
fight."
In the course of his address the President took credit for a federal
hate crimes bill that was passed last week by a Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives. He also pledged to push for an employee
non-discrimination bill and fully-inclusive hate crimes legislation.
But the greatest attention was directed at the military's "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell" policy that bars openly-homosexual individuals from serving
in the U.S. Armed Forces. "I will end don't ask don't tell," the
President pledged. "That's my commitment to you." Nevertheless, the
President did not stipulate any timetable for this action -- a fact
noted by his audience.
The President's perceived lack of action -- and his refusal to hold his
administration to a timetable for action -- meant that many in the
crowd were disappointed. Though his speech was repeatedly interrupted
by eager applause, a good many activists complained that his speech was
politically expedient. At TIME.com, John Cloud summarized the
President's message with these words: "I'm with you. But I can't do
much for you."
Nevertheless, in contrast to that reading of the President's comments,
others understood Mr. Obama to make a sweeping series of promises. In
addition to pledging a repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy,
the President also pledged to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.
The President said:
And that is why -- that's why I support ensuring that committed gay
couples have the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any
married couple in this country. I believe strongly in stopping laws
designed to take rights away and passing laws that extend equal rights
to gay couples. I've required all agencies in the federal government to
extend as many federal benefits as possible to LGBT families as the
current law allows. And I've called on Congress to repeal the so-called
Defense of Marriage Act and to pass the Domestic Partners Benefits and
Obligations Act.
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), passed in 1996, stipulates a
federal definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman and
protects any state from being forced to recognize a same-sex marriage
legal in another state. The law was passed by huge majorities in both
houses of Congress and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
The opposition of the homosexual community to the law has multiplied
since the advent of legalized same-sex marriage in a handful of states.
In a significant portion of his address, President Obama spoke of the
fact that gay and lesbian concerns "raise a great deal of emotion in
this country." He did not counsel the homosexual community to be
patient, but he did ask for understanding. He spoke of advances made
over the last three decades, but then reflected that "there's still
laws to change and there's still hearts to open." Furthermore, "There
are still fellow citizens, perhaps neighbors, even loved ones -- good
and decent people -- who hold fast to outworn arguments and old
attitudes; who fail to see your families like their families; who would
deny you the rights most Americans take for granted. And that's painful
and it's heartbreaking."
The President's promises were sweeping. Nevertheless, the most
remarkable section of his address included a truly unprecedented
promise. The President told the group that his expectation is that when
they look back over the years of his administration, they would "see a
time in which we put a stop to discrimination against gays and
lesbians."
Then he spoke these words:
You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize
relationships between two men or two women as just as real and
admirable as relationships between a man and a woman.
Those words represent a moral revolution that goes far beyond what any
other President has ever promised or articulated. In the span of a
single sentence, President Obama put his administration publicly on the
line to press, not only for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act,
but for the recognition that same-sex relationships are "just as real
and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman."
It is virtually impossible to imagine a promise more breathtaking in
its revolutionary character than this -- to normalize same-sex
relationships to the extent that they are recognized as being as
admirable as heterosexual marriage.
The attendees at the Human Rights Campaign's annual dinner heard the
President of the United States make that breathtaking pledge. Was the
rest of America listening?

America's Biggest Terrorist Threat
The ACLU
Personal Note: By James E. Watson
In this day of Instant Communication, Christian's should take full advantage of it to express there views to there Local, State and Federal Government Officials. An e-mail is just like a vote only you can vote several times a day to all of the Officials involved in your issue. This may be our last chance to voice our opinions in a loud and nonstop manner to the people who are destroying our Country and it's Christian values, Most Politicians, The ACLU and Most Judges. Most Politicians do not like the Internet because they do not have complete control of it, and We have too easy access to them through it. Before they change the Internet rules let's make our voices herd loud and clear !! Only together can we make a difference.
The ACLU is an UnGodly Communist Organization !!

If the Police came to your house today, and arrested you for being a Christian, would they have enough evidence to get a conviction?
Romans 10:13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Salvation
We need to call upon God to save us. The invitation of the gospel is clear. The Bible says, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). The Scripture urges us, Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55:6). Right now, while you are visiting this web page, give your life to Christ and receive Him as your personal Savior. The Bible says, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). If you have never really accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, would you do it right now? Do not delay or put it off. If you would like to receive Christ by faith, pray this simple prayer in your heart: Dear Lord, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died for my sins on the cross, and rose again the third day. I repent of my sins. By faith I receive the Lord Jesus as my Savior. You promised to save me, and I believe You, because You are God and cannot lie. I believe right now that the Lord Jesus is my personal Savior, and that all my sins are forgiven through His precious blood. I thank You, dear Lord, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen. If you prayed this prayer with conviction, God heard your prayer and saved you. I personally want to welcome you to the family of God.
Thank You and God Bless.
