333. obama would have to do more than apologise for mcklurkin -- he would have
to have to retract this statement as well: "Giving them a set of basic rights would allow them to experience their relationship and live their lives in a way that doesn't cause discrimination," Obama said. "I think it is the right balance to strike in this society."
Sources: Chicago Daily Tribune, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force

as far as i'm concerned -- obama has very deep ugly feelings about gay folk and their issues.

he thinks we are untrained animals -- in need of some ''special basic rights'' to teach us to behave like human beings.

and donnie wasn't the only anti-gay bigot in S.C there were four acts all together -- including one singer who compares lgbtq folk to murderers.

no i'm not happy about obama -- never will be.

any step forward i get from this man will be bitter -- because i think he really has ugly issues re: the lgbtq community.

and i also think that there has been quite a bit of internalized or soft anti-gay bigotry exposed here at DU.
