Why is Obama Afraid of Gay Marriage?

Video: Obama's LGBT White House Speech (Below)
Watching Obama’s press conference was disappointing
when is came to marriage equality. Laura Meckler of the
Wall Street Journal asked the question directly, “Do you
personally support gay marriage?” “I'm not going to make
news on that today,” Obama said to laughter of reporters.
“Good try, though.” Meckler tried again. Obama dodged
again. “Laura, I think this has been asked & answered,”
he said, smiling. “I'll just – I'll keep on giving you the
same answer until I give you a different one. All right?
And that won't be today.” The majority of Americans
support gay marriage by 53% in a recent Gallup Poll.
Yes we're entering into an election year. Why is it that
the 2 Republican frontrunners are proud of their
homophobic position by saying they want to support
a federal amendment against marriage equality but the
Obamas continue to avoid the issue? What are they
afraid of? If they are as homophobic as the GOP then
stop lying to our LGBT community & tell us the truth.
If they are not homophobic then come out & support
marriage equality. You can’t have it both ways....

3 More Fired Under DADT

move to increase production in New York as gay
marriage passes...more @OUTTAKE VOICES™

This has to stop. Air Force spokesman Maj. Joel Harper
confirmed that 3 additional service members, 2 female
staff sergeants & a male 2nd lieutenant have been
approved for discharge under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
Recently we reported that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is
being delayed again by months or more. Defense
Secretary Gates reneged on his promise to sign the
certification before he retires June 30th. Instead it
will be coming from his successor Leon Panetta in
late July or early August. After it is certified there
is a 60 days waiting period before it takes effect.
Despite Obama signing the repeal of DADT it is
still unsafe for service members to come out until
60 days after certification.

Take Sex Out of Our Marriage Discussion

New Exclusive Audio Chat w/ Josh Rosenzweig,
VP Programming at Here Media & the timely
move to increase production in New York as gay
marriage passes...more @OUTTAKE VOICES™

Gay Marriage finally passing in New York is definitely
a game-changer. When Governor Andrew Cuomo
announced that gay marriage had passed by a vote
of 33-29 Friday night he used the proper language.
He never used the religious right’s term “same-sex
marriage”. We must take “sex” out of our marriage
discussion. Use the terms “gay marriage”, “marriage
equality” or “same-gender marriage”. To expedite
equality for our LGBT community understand
language & know that every time our opponents hear
the word ‘sex’ a red flag goes up & their minds close.
Note that coverage by mainstream media outlets all
use the term ‘same-sex’ to stir the pot. Just think
about the language we use. Gay marriage on the
federal level will be achieved when our opponents
understand that marriage equality is a spiritual truth
& it is beyond sex. Updated to Come…:)

Congrats definitely go out to all the groups & individuals
who have worked so hard to get this done, who are too
numerous to name. With this vote, we have now doubled
the number of LGBT Americans who can legally marry

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Delayed Again

UPDATE: 3 More Fired Under DADT
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is being delayed again by at
least a few months or more. Defense Secretary Robert
Gates told Agence France-Presse (AFP) in an interview
on June 23rd that the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT)
repeal wouldn't be certified before he retires June 30th,
instead it will be coming from his successor Leon Panetta
in late July or early August. A few weeks ago Gates said
the opposite. After it is certified there is a 60 days waiting
period before it takes effect. This means until that time
which could be a year after the repeal was signed by
Obama last December, our gay & lesbian community
serving in the military must continue to serve in silence.
This is an extremely important issue for our community.
We must not become complacent & make sure this
archaic legislation is removed once and for all.

Obama Still Avoids Gay Marriage

For months, Obama has insisted his position on gay
marriage is “evolving”. Last night in NYC Obama
addressed a gay & lesbian event that cost $1,250 to
$35,800 (the legal maximum) per person to Obama’s
campaign & the Democratic National Committee to
attend. “We’re going to keep on fighting until the law
no longer treats committed partners who’ve been
together for decades like they’re strangers,” Obama
told a crowd of more than 600, many of whom had
come from other states to attend his first fundraiser
specifically for our LGBT community in the 2012
election cycle. Actor Neil Patrick Harris was the
emcee for this star-studded event. Though there
were shouts from the crowd, “Marriage” & “Do you
support it?” Obama just answered, “I hear you guys.”
He did address DOMA & his decision not to appeal
the court’s decision that found it unconstitutional
but unfortunately that’s about as far as he went.
Check OUT his speech in comments.
