Barack Obama Statement on Pride Month

Obama Statement on Pride Month
| June 01, 2007

CHICAGO , IL-- U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today released the following statement to commemorate Pride Month.

"Pride Month is a reminder that while we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do."

"Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect."

"It's time to turn the page on the bitterness and bigotry that fill so much of today's LGBT rights debate. The rights of all Americans should be protected -- whether it's at work or anyplace else. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" needs to be repealed because patriotism and a sense of duty should be the key tests for military service, not sexual orientation. Civil unions should give gay couples full rights. And those who commit hate crimes should be punished no matter whether those crimes are committed on account of race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation."

"This Pride Month, let's make our founding promise of equality a reality for every American."

sassy? cynical about left/liberal politicians wh achieve power

actually blair's government delivered completely on gay rights, even over adoption against his own religion. maybe i shouldn't be so cynical

Considering he's a democrat, its hardly revolutionary talk. Being of mixed race and from the south, a little rhetoric on discrimination would actually be expected. I wouldnt vote him in purely on that though based on one view.

How presidential hopefuls stand on same-sex marriage

Interesting summary from CNN:

Same-sex marriage: Election Center 2008 - CNN.com

Obama is against same-sex marriage (as is Hilary).
