What The White House Says It Says About Gay Rights. Here’s the text from WhiteHouse.gov on gay civil rights:
“President Obama also continues to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. He supports full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples and opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. He supports repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in a sensible way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security, and also believes that we must ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation.”
Assuming Hate Crimes gets passed this week as has been suggested, we’ll give you a pass on not including it on the current site. So, enactment of ENDA, repeal of DADT, opposes DOMA but doesn’t say repeal of DOMA. Why not, Mr. President? And if you oppose DOMA but don’t want to work to see it repealed, why support it so viciously in Smelt?
