Several months ago when we did our first "Obama and Homosexuals" update, we told you that we would continue this frequently and as new information came out.
Homosexuals are a major constituent group of the Democratic party. In recent weeks, homosexual activist groups have been clamoring to Obama for support payback. Frankly, it has gotten nasty.
Here is the latest since June 1st.
-The Obama White House has proposed the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. If passed, this bill would add gender and sexual orientation to hate crime laws.
-Urging Congress to repeal the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
-Ensure national adoption rights for homosexual couples.
-Passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. This bill would expand it protections to cover sexual orientation and gender identity.
-Repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy towards homosexuals. This is controversial and will take time. Homosexuals would then be allowed to serve openly.
