Not a Good Day To Be Gay

But what about Obama?

Hey folks,

No I'm not calling Obama Gay. I'm just curious about what he has said in the past, and this new PEOPLE'S Vote to ban Gay Marriage in Florida and California. That's right folks. Here in Florida, the Florida marriage protection amendment, Voters decided to identify marriage as the union between a man and a woman, nothing else, banning gay marriage and extra benefits for domestic partnerships. Florida will now be one of approximately 30 states with a definition of marriage in its constitution.

One of the other 30? California. Yup. Home of San Fransisco. Home of Pelosi, the twit herself. They passed the Gay Marriage Ban as well. As in Florida, it was a LANDSLIDE. There is NO doubt where the voters stand in these states. NONE whatsoever.

In Florida, Whites voted 60-40, but Black voters approved a ban on gay marriage by a vote of 71 to 29. Is there any question? Now I'm pointing out Race for a reason here. Then in California, Whites may have even let this fail 51-49. It was the 70 percent support from Black voters that put the measure over the top. 70 to 30.

So in both these states, it seems one minority discriminated against the other. Blacks against Gays. It was not the White, War Mongering, Racist, Chauvinistic, Homophobes, you know, Republicans. It was the Blacks. Liberal Democratic Black people. Obama's base.

So what is he intending to do about this? Well, back on March 02, 2008 I posted excerpts from Obama's Open Letter to the Gay Community. He said this.

“In the U.S. Senate, I have co-sponsored bills that would equalize tax treatment for same-sex couples and provide benefits to domestic partners of federal employees,”

“And as president, I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes and a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act to outlaw workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.”

The letter goes on to say that if elected president he would use the bully pulpit “to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws.”

“I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment.”

“I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples — whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage.”

“Unlike Senator Clinton, I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate.”

“While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does.”

Obama also said that he supports the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

“The next president must also address the HIV/AIDS epidemic,”

“When it comes to prevention, we do not have to choose between values and science. While abstinence education should be part of any strategy, we also need to use common sense. We should have age-appropriate sex education that includes information about contraception.”

The open letter was released as Obama prepares to run ads in four major LGBT newspapers in Texas and Ohio in advance of Democratic Party primaries.

SO Obama? President Elect Obama? The letter goes on to say that if elected president he would use the bully pulpit “to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws.”

What about when the PEOPLE speak? They spoke LOUD and CLEAR in California and Florida. They WANT a Ban on Gay Marriage. You said this.

“I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples — whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage.”

So I guess the Federal Government should stay out of THESE two Constitutional Amendments. Right? Or are you going to do the OTHER thing you said.

Then again, under Liberal Socialistic type Governing, your Vote really does not matter. Ask New York about that one. {Term Limits}

Could this be one of Obama's first tests as President? I guess we will just have to wait and see. Just remember folks, this is a guy who has come out and said he doesn't like the Constitution to begin with. Too many negative Rights. He is the guy that has friends that want to create a NEW Bill of Rights. He is a guy that has promised to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE this country. With the Loons in the Congress still in power, him as President, and the Radical LWL running all things in Government now, it should be interesting to see how this one plays out.
