Obama Tells Lesbians, Bisexual, Gays and Transgenders: “Welcome to Your White House”
By | June 30, 2009
President Obama had the Tranny’s over for dinner last night:
If Barack Obama and the gay community have strained relations, an elegant reception in the White House East Room to celebrate LGBT Pride Month was a good way to start mending fences — at least for now.
“Welcome to your White House,” Obama told an enthusiastic crowd of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people on Monday before launching into a summary of his administration’s accomplishments on their causes.
Notable exception: Obama’s pledge to repeal the military’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy has not been met. Gay activists have lamented the slow speed at which Obama, who had wide support from the community for his presidential campaign, and his administration have moved to address the military policy and other issues.
That’s not news to Obama, who addressed the dissatisfaction in his remarks. “I know that many in this room don’t believe that progress has come fast enough, and I understand that,” he said.
Nice… Obama really does stand for change.
