(CNSNews.com) - In an open letter posted on his presidential campaign Web site Thursday, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) expounds on the "promise of equality for all -- a promise that extends to our gay brothers and sisters."

He said he'd use the "bully pulpit" of the presidency to press for a number of laws and policy changes backed by the homosexual community.
