Reply #29: Yep. Obama is "hostile" to homosexual families. [View All]

You realize that in order for your claims to have any potency, they have to be at a minimum believable to your audience. Well, maybe you don't. Many activist groups self-marginalize by failing to understand that exaggeration is counterproductive.

Obama, who is generally a strong advocate of gay rights, once invited a regionally-popular gospel singer to perform at a gospel show sponsored by his campaign. The singer said some nastily misleading things about homosexuals (as was expected), and Obama's defenses of the invitation were mealy-mouthed. This demonstrates a tendency to retreat from unpopular fights, and that would be a valid attack. It demonstrates a degree of insensitivity to homosexuals. Both of those could be reasonable attacks. "Obama is hostile to gay people?" Not so much.
