Obama Talks Gay Rights: Gay Marriage, DOMA, Don't Ask Don't Tell @ 2011 Human Rights Campaign

[leggejenna]

How could you not believe him? Its not his fault congress cock blocks EVERYTHING he tries to do.

[CJCA915]

@leggejenna Word.

[1994krystal]

This is one of the many reasons I actually like Obama. DADT has been repealed under his presidency, which now allows me, as a lesbian, to serve openly in the US Navy. Thank you Obama.

[GoodasGuilty]

But jail for unlimited time without reason, that will bring us Equality!

[Njeanous]

That suit was gorgeous! Or was that a tuxedo?

[natashalahera]

Why don't I believe him? :/

[CJCA915]

@natashalahera Cold feet?

Don't Ask, Don't Tell has been repealed... it's no longer used.

[natashalahera]

@CJCA915 I know that DADT is old news. Let me rephrase, what I meant is that he doesn't sound sincere. I understand that Obama isn't the homophobe that most of the other candidates are, but when he speaks about gay rights, I feel like he's forcing himself to say those things because it's expected of him as a Democrat and he's okay with it, but not because he's all that committed to the cause.

[Nealsu83]

@natashalahera The presidents job is to put weight behind issues that he believes the people of the country want or deserve. The people that want that change are the people that need to be committed to the cause. And if they stay committed the president will hear about it... you only hope the president will listen and actually speak up and do something about it. So lets not pick on Obama about things you are having a feeling about and lets just observe what he says and then does.

[Ninja123101]

He specifically said that he believes Marriage should only be between a man and women. He wants to create civil unions for gays but he is against gay marriage because of his Christian Beliefs. So he's for separate but equal rights. I'm not voting for him because I want to still have a paycheck that I work hard for but if equality is why you think you should vote for him plan on it being segregated equality.

[CJCA915]

@Ninja123101 That's not the only reason... in fact jobs have been created... sure they still went down after he was elected, but then they began climbing... during Bush, job loss was dismal.

[Ninja123101]

@CJCA915 You're comparing two people that epically failed our country. It doesn't matter that he creates jobs if he continues to raise the debt ceiling and taxes get higher as a result.

[CJCA915]

@Ninja123101 I can say I feel better about Obama than what might have ensued if McCain was president...

From what I hear, the taxes we American's pay are far less than other countries...

Obama hasn't done nearly the crap Bush did...

[Ninja123101]

@CJCA915 Again with the comparing. This guy's campain is funded by a bunch of Wall street bankers! His agenda actually very similar to Bush's. He's just the iron fist in a velvet glove where Bush was just the iron fist. Why do think we still run on gasoline? He's a Chicago politician! That's simply how they roll! Don't you find it a little odd that his crappily made "budget" came out all the way toward the end of his term?! I have no partisan bias, and I can see right through this guy!

[CJCA915]

@Ninja123101 Well, we still run on gasoline because alternative methods are still too expensive... why do you think most people still have gas powered cars... I don't have the money to go buy a hybrid, etc.

I'm not saying Obama is perfect, but I have more to be proud of from him, than Bush... I can't compare any other presidents, as I've only been alive since 1990...

[ChibiNeko96]

This is the first presidential election I'll be allowed to vote in (unfortunately I was only 17 when the 2008 election came around). There's no way I'm skipping out on this one... Personally I love Obama, but even if I hated him I'd be voting for him to avoid the absolute lunatics the Republicans have given us to choose from this time around.

[jaga690]

GO OBAMA, GO!! GREETINGS FROM POLAND...



[johnsawyer20]

I turned 18 in September of 2008. Obama had my first vote for president and he will have my second!

[SarahLeeAnn]

Yay for non-crazy politicians.

[LordOchan]

Please stay 4 more years, and ignore all the idiots who watch Fox news and nothing else, or listen to their buddy bubba at the gas station on their thoughts of Obama. Please stay Obama =) BEST PRESIDENT EVER.

[henhouse]

@LordOchan Obama has made great progress for gay rights. But has hurt us more than you can imagine financially. He's more than tripled our national debt within a few years. While I agree with getting rights, his actions in ruling this country have dug the hole so much deeper we can barely get out of it.

[DraygaFlight]

@henhouse Not true, he has spent his 4 years fighting the downward spiral BUSH shoved us into. You can't stop a speeding train with just a few pieces of paper. It has taken a LOT of work to slow it down to where it CAN be stopped. The Republicans however, want to start it right back up and turn on the turbo as well. Republicans are all for THEIR America, a land where the rich are gods and unquestionable, and god help you if you aren't rich, cause they sure as hell won't give a shit!

[CJCA915]

@iosifion They're only 14... in the US you need to be 18 to vote...

[penguinlove12344]

OBAMAAAAAAA

[DarqueMyth]

Mr. President, you make me very proud to call myself an American.

[anisanoble]

so can us gays get married or what?

[CJCA915]

@anisanoble So far, only in US states that have it legalized... I think Washington state is the next likely state to legalize same sex marriage...

[happy2405]

@CJCA915 They just did :D

[teardrp69]

@anisanoble only in some states at the moment me and my lover are in oklahoma and we are waiting to get married

[lambertprincess]

God Bless This Man.

[angelofthedeadxoxoxo]

ugh i wish i was 18, im only 14 i want obama to be president for 4 more years, please vote for him!!!!

[CJCA915]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo I will. :)

[MainelyButch]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo I don't believe he has any "real" competition, and this is why he's not out on the road campaigning like mad right now. The Republican pool of candidates is a piss-poor offering of the worst they could drum up....Newt? Really? Really? No way. Americans would rather stick with the "known" who is already in office than suffer the changes of the danger of electing one of those guys. Relax, and don't grow up too fast! LOL, Rock on kiddo!

[MrDane1911]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo I will vote for you!!!!!

[stitchedIN]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo Same here but I'm 15! GAH

[ChasteRoue]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo I wont. Obama is against gay marriage. Hasn't been named a "homophobe" pretty funny, huh?

[justjoshing86]

@ChasteRoue uh... Obama is for the Respect for Marriage act which would give rights on the federal level for gay couples to be protected. His opinion has changed from when he first ran. His opinion will evolve as it has been already! Look at it this way if you don't agree with me; Lesser of two evils (I myself think he's a very respectable President)

[Shadowkitty96]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo we wouldnt have to rely on obama if more ppl would just stand up for themselves 

[Olucatei]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo I'll vote for him as many times as I can.

[poodlestyle33]

@angelofthedeadxoxoxo I just turned 18 this year, how lucky is that? Unless something drastic changes he's got my (first) vote. :)

[CrawlingAxle]

If every American should be treated equally, why are you taxing some more than others, douchebag?

[CJCA915]

@CrawlingAxle There's a difference between taxes, and rights... LGBT people pay taxes but don't get to enjoy the same rights as the straight tax payer... not to mention, the rich top 1% barely pay any taxes... and if the Republican'ts in Congress wouldn't suck the corporate cock, Obama wants to increase their tax rate, because they can afford paying taxes... these multimillionaires, etc. have more money than they know what to do with...

[AreusAstarte]

@CrawlingAxle You fail so incredibly hard XD

So you want all people to pay the same taxes no matter if they make 1k or 100k per month? :P Sure. You're stupid xD

[TroublesomeClouds]

This video brought tears to my eyes. I would vote for Obama if I was an American citizen.

[miloootic]

amazing i just hope our backward countries learn from the USA...not everything just the amazing equality,and anti discriminatory system...its really epic to have a leader like that.

[NuLaifMusic]

EVERYONE who PAYS TAXES should be aloud THE SAME BENEFITS - OTHER WISE IS DESCRIMINATION (IS THIS HAPPENING IN THE USA?)

If you DONT WANT TO GIVE SAME SEX COUPLES THE SAME BENEFITS well then THEY SHOUDN'T PAY TAXES AT ALL, FAIR IS FAIR.

Or are you telling me THAT SAME SEX COUPLES are going to be PAYING TAXES TO TAKE CARE OF OPPOSITE SEX COUPLES when they get old?

THAT’S RIDICULOUS & NOT FAIR !!!!

[NuLaifMusic]

OCT 18 2011 POLL

The polls came out 56% on behave of gay marriage and 39% against.

In 1996 there were only 26% on behave of gay marriage. Which means that since 1996 straight people started having a lot of gay babies!!!

If straight people don't want gay people as part of their culture then is simple STOP HAVING GAY BABIES!

But since you do, YOUR GAY CHILDREN NEED TO HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS YOU, THE STRAIGHT PARENT!

OBAMA 2012!!

[Goofy16girl787]

@NuLaifMusic And straight people have just come to their senses when it comes to gay rights/marriage. People don't need to have gay children to be for their rights.

[NuLaifMusic]

OBAMA 2012 ALL THE WAY!!

[NuLaifMusic]

MARCH 2010 UPDATE: "GAY" GENE FOUND!

Here's a video you should watch on you tube:

The 'Gay Brain' Explained - Louann Brizendine

Also just google:

GAY BRAIN

And you're going to see all the recent discovery that gay man's brain is like a females and lesbians brains are like males.

Scientifictly proven, that is NOT A CHOICE OR A SIN, you are who you are since the night your parents... well... you know... and here we are!

[JoeyLovieLiv]

People say he is doing bad but he's just trying to clean up the mess George Bush made...

[JanelynnProductions]

@JoeyLovieLiv wtf people keep saying that but he actually hasn't done anything. he hasn't been cleaning up any "mess"

[CJCA915]

@JanelynnProductions On the contrary... he's done quite a lot... people just don't want to see it.

[MovieTheaterLad]

@JoeyLovieLiv

I think we're ALL trying to do that, lol.

[xephyr1000]

He's always been known as a good orator. Carrying through with his promises is another thing, though.

[CJCA915]

@xephyr1000 He got the repeal of DADT done, and he's working the best he can, he can't just supersede Congress...

[xephyr1000]

@CJCA915 No doubt I'll likely vote for him again in 2012. I realize its a major uphill battle for him in nearly every case, but it seems sometimes he bends over backwards to pander to the extremists on the Right.

[CJCA915]

@xephyr1000 Well, all politicians do it, Congress pulls the strings.

[Swiftyslow2]

1st

[CJCA915]

@Swiftyslow2 People who say 1st, etc. get blocked.
