Obama Gay Pride – Open Letter To LGBT Community

I thought I was going to get a break from writing about politics for a while since Barack Obama clinched the democratic nomination earlier this week. But something resurfaced today and as it turns out it is a good Friday to end a good week.

There was also a conference call today where Obama’s campaign reached out to Clinton’s supporters. On that call Obama’s campaign manager, Seve Hildebrand reached out to Clinton’s gay supporters and assured them that Obama would host a follow-up call to directly address gays within two weeks. The emphasis was on Obama’s “rock solid commitment to gay equality.”

Barack Obama released a letter to the LGBT Community back in February. It didn’t get much attention at the time. But now it is making the rounds on the internet. It would seem that he has wisely chosen to get his views on LGBT issues out of the way early for the battle against republican nominee John McCain. That’s a good decision and what he has to say is even better.

“As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws.

I will never compromise on my commitment to equal rights for all LGBT Americans.
