Obama Shows Some Pride

I honestly never imagined seeing a day when a Presidential Candidate would issue a press release supporting Pride Month that not only supports the gay community, but also makes sure to include the transgender community. lgbt_logo.gifYet that is just what Obama has done:

    I am proud to join with our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered brothers and sisters in celebrating the accomplishments, the lives, and the families of all LGBT people during this Pride season. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans.

One of the most heartening things about Obama is that he is unafraid to include LGBT language in his speeches, no matter what the crowd. I also appreciate how he always makes sure to include "gender expression and identity." Read the rest of his statement after the jump...
