WASHINGTON (BP)--Any hope that an incoming Obama administration will dump some of its more controversial proposals concerning "gay rights" apparently ended in recent days, when the president-elect's team launched a page on the transition website devoted to homosexual causes.

The webpage at Change.gov boasts that a Barack Obama White House will bring "support for the LGBT Community" -- an acronym that stands for "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender" -- and will back a series of bills long championed by homosexual groups but opposed by the current Bush administration. The website quotes Obama as saying, "While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do."
