Obama: June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month

Gay or Straight…. modesty is a virtue…

Whatever you do behind closed doors is your business – but don’t ask me to condone it.

Same to you pal.

I am sick and tired of people who’s identity in life is dependent on waving their sexuality in my face – straight or gay.

“Gee, which month is Heterosexual Pride Month?”
Any month straight couples can marry.
Any month the pope doesn’t call straight people a threat to all creation.
Any month straights can serve openly in the military.
Any month straight people aren’t beaten to death on the street for their sexual orientation.
Any month no commentator goes on TV to push for criminalizing straight sex.
Any month teens aren’t disowned by their parents and thrown on the street just for being straight.
Those months — any of those months, all of those months — are heterosexual pride months.

Rob and Scot,
Calm down. You have a friend in the white house. Change takes time especially in government.
I will add this to the discussion, does anyone expect a military doctrine change with openly LGBT individual? Lets just say those who choose to serve openly better not expect to receive any special treatment. If you get called the ”f” word in basic, its not because of your orientation, its because your performance is representative of an albeit negative stereotype.

This is the epitome of disgraceful pandering. Be careful for whom you vote. Elections have consequences.

I guess when people dont have enough respect in their own lives to go quietly about their personal business, they have to try and legislate it and force it on the rest of us. They are simply pathetic.

Force it upon you? Flaunt it in your face? When homophobia takes hold, people really don’t use their intellects, do they? Queer people have one day in which they can collectively educate others on tehir sexualities; other times, they must do it on an individual level. Heterosexuality, on the other hand, is instutionalized and the marriage is legal. Children are socialized from the very beginning the heterosexual ‘responsibility’ (“No, Johnny, boys like girls”) and when teenagers develop a sexuality, there are taught only heterosexual sex ed. So if you don’t want to hear about anyone’s sexual orientation, Stormer, don’t live with one and don’t portray heterosexuality in any form. Frankly, I think diversity is the only just solution.

what are we becoming

He has to please his voters.

If one were totally cynical, this could be seen as a great way to push the US in Sharia/Muslem law.

I’ll be waiting for him to officially declare July as heterosexual month.

“Don’t shove it down my throat” isn’t a request — it’s a dare. Any incremental advancement of equality for LGBT folk will be met with screams “Don’t shove it in my face/down my throat!”
Those who are for LGBT equality must realize the schoolyard fight with the bigoted hetero-bullies can’t be avoided. We can’t run to teacher — the ‘adults’ don’t care, and if they do, they can’t always be there.
At some time we have to stand toe-to-toe with the hetero-bullies and duke it out.
A willingness to get our collective nose bloodied and eye blackened while returning same — evidence that we won’t back down — will go much further in securing our rightful place as equals than waiting for Principal Obama or some other so-called in-charge ‘adult’ to say “That’s Enough! I’m gonna’ put a stop to this!”
Face it, when we get sent to Principal Obama’s office for fighting for our rights, we’re punished and the hetero-bullies who picked the fight are seen as the victims, so you might as well teach the hetero-bullies to at least respect you.

“I guess when people dont have enough respect in their own lives to go quietly about their personal business, they have to try and legislate it and force it on the rest of us. They are simply pathetic.”
I agree with MarkD. I assume that you’re talking about the conservative heterosexuals who pass laws and amendments to state constitutions in a desperate attempt to prevent gay marriage and to impose their conservative religious beliefs on the rest of us.
It really is pathetic.

Where is the straight pride month?
OOOh i forgot i’m not a minority, i will now shut up because i have no rights.

I need a month to tell pple we are str8.
every month is herto day. nobody picks oon you because you are gay.. I am in hs and all the girls pick one me becuase i like girls.. so get over yourself..

you guys dont know what it fells like to be gay.. i am going to med school soon and my mum wont even come to my grad. just because i choose to like a different gender.

We’re not *cramming* anything down your throats or *flaunting* anything in your face. We’re actively trying to gain recognition from a country whose hundreds and hundreds of years of bias and prejudice have delayed a minority its social justice.
- “No, WE don’t; that’s the world you live in; we don’t spend 24/7 thinking about other people’s sexual preferences; that seems to be the terrority covered by gays and lesbians; what really offends us is how absolutely OBSESSED with sexual preferences you are.”
- You totally misread what that person wrote. He/she never said anything about “thinking about sexual preference.” He/she clearly stated that heterosexuals ASSUME that every person is heterosexual. I highly doubt that, if you were to be placed in a room with random strangers, you would imagine that anyone in that room would be gay. Truth is, gay people look just like everybody else, so why should we be treated any differently from you?
- “Where’s our white heterosexual month?”
- Every month is white, heterosexual month when you’re publicly allowed to express your physical attraction and ethnicity without having to face prejudice from people who don’t accept you.
Learn to have some compassion, people. We’re not asking you to embrace our lifestyle; hell, you don’t even have to be a part of it. All we’re asking is that you *accept* the fact that we, too, are people and deserve to have the same legal rights and treatment as you do.

obama continues to spit on GOD. he doesn’t seem to care how much he offends GOD. when is he going to proclaim the usa no longer one nation under GOD.

I’m sick and tired of having straight pride shoved down my throat and flaunted in my face 24/7 and 365 days a year.
Gays are about more than sex, i don’t know why some of you FIXATE on the sex act.
I don’t think about the sex you straights are having, ewwww.

Be warned everyone, the people who are writing in the comments supporting the heterosexual agenda want to recruit your children into the heterosexual lifestyle.
They want to teach straight sex to them in the form of stories about people getting married, or having a family with only one mother and one father.
They want to teach children that heterosexuality is normal without the consent of their parents.
They want to flaunt their ‘straight pride’ in your face every day by performing lewd sexual acts in public such as kissing and holding hands.
Don’t let the straight agenda win!

Yay for President Obama and his acknowledgement that gay and lesbian Americans are full citizens and deserving of equal treatment under the law, both in military and civilian life.

Fact of the matter is, its not right. Even physics tell you opposites attract. No, we are not straight pride, no we don’t want to flaunt our sexual preferences, we want to be normal. The ones that choose to be gay choose to break physics, choose to break commandments, choose to break the boundaries of what is considered normal. This is human instinct, but it still isn’t right. Do I hate gays? No, I don’t even care. Do I fear gays? No, I don’t really care. What you do is what YOU do. But to flaunt what you do, is breaking normal. People should not know you have sex, should not even care. Its your life, do what you want with it. When I see you in public, I see a person. Two eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hair. When you stick out like a sore thumb screaming gay rights this, PDA that, than you are no longer a person. You are a freak. Live your life normally in society, and keep what you do in your home in your home. I don’t want to know my barber is gay, or not gay, I just want the man to cut my hair. I DONT CARE IF YOUR GAY. I just care about knowing what you do in your bedroom. Is this hard to understand?

“Live your life normally in society, and keep what you do in your home in your home.”
As soon as straight people do the same thing, we will too. However, if you can kiss your girlfriend in public, then I can kiss my boyfriend. If you can hold hands, so can we. If you can talk about your wedding, so can we. Fair is fair.
By the way, what’s your obsession with our bedrooms? We spend less time in our bedrooms than you do thinking about our bedrooms. Straight people seem to spend more time obsessing over the sex lives of gay people than gay people actually spend having sex or talking about it.
If you don’t want to know if your Barber is gay, then move somewhere where gay people don’t exist. Good luck finding such a place because we are literally everywhere.
How about you just treat us like Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists and all the other people who aren’t following your religious beliefs?

o lol typo, I just DONT care what you do in your bedroom. I’m sorry you missed that, i DONT care, forgive me for omitting an important word.

my kids are three, not 10. and they will find out on their own accord. why dont you act human. and how can it be a fact when it is your opinion? i dont think you know FOR A FACT that my kids will be trouble makers, nor do you know FOR A FACT they will be “preggers”. For all WE know, they could end up homosexual as well. Stop taking what I say out of context and read it the way I wrote it.
And please englighten me on what a “pregger” is. Is this someone who pregnates, or someone who gets pregnant. Is there anyone here that has a lick of vocabulary or did you choose not to learn in school cause it was the straight teaching you.

I’m so encouraged by an LGBT pride month! I hope we are headed in the right direction. Pride month definitely has my support!

Quick question, why does it matter? If i like men, then i like men. But, at the same time I also appreciate a fine looking woman. Just as any straight male would do. Or any straight female. So does that make me half “normal”, as you say, and half “freakish”?
