The White House – Celebrating LGBT Pride Month

The President and First Lady hosted the first-of-its-kind LGBT Pride Month reception at the White House yesterday [June 29th]. On the heels of the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the reception brought together LGBT families, volunteers, community leaders, lawmakers and heads of LGBT organizations to celebrate the LGBT community.

Yeah, okay. I’m really hoping Obama doesn’t sell out on this issue the way Clinton did but so far, it’s not looking good.
