Presidential Proclamation--Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month

As Americans, it is our birthright that all people are created equal and deserve the same rights, privileges, and opportunities. Since our earliest days of independence, our Nation has striven to fulfill that promise. An important chapter in our great, unfinished story is the movement for fairness and equality on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. This month, as we recognize the immeasurable contributions of LGBT Americans, we renew our commitment to the struggle for equal rights for LGBT Americans and to ending prejudice and injustice wherever it exists.

LGBT Americans have enriched and strengthened the fabric of our national life. From business leaders and professors to athletes and first responders, LGBT individuals have achieved success and prominence in every discipline. They are our mothers and fathers, our sons and daughters, and our friends and neighbors. Across my Administration, openly LGBT employees are serving at every level. Thanks to those who came before us — the brave men and women who marched, stood up to injustice, and brought change through acts of compassion or defiance — we have made enormous progress and continue to strive for a more perfect union.

My Administration has advanced our journey by signing into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which strengthens Federal protections against crimes based on gender identity or sexual orientation. We renewed the Ryan White CARE Act, which provides life saving medical services and support to Americans living with HIV/AIDS, and finally eliminated the HIV entry ban. I also signed a Presidential Memorandum directing hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid funds to give LGBT patients the compassion and security they deserve in their time of need, including the ability to choose someone other than an immediate family member to visit them and make medical decisions.

In other areas, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a series of proposals to ensure core housing programs are open to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. HUD also announced the first ever national study of discrimination against members of the LGBT community in the rental and sale of housing. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services has created a National Resource Center for LGBT Elders.

Much work remains to fulfill our Nation's promise of equal justice under law for LGBT Americans. That is why we must give committed gay couples the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple, and repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. We must protect the rights of LGBT families by securing their adoption rights, ending employment discrimination against LGBT Americans, and ensuring Federal employees receive equal benefits. We must create safer schools so all our children may learn in a supportive environment. I am also committed to ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" so patriotic LGBT Americans can serve openly in our military, and I am working with the Congress and our military leadership to accomplish that goal.

As we honor the LGBT Americans who have given so much to our Nation, let us remember that if one of us is unable to realize full equality, we all fall short of our founding principles. Our Nation draws its strength from our diversity, with each of us contributing to the greater whole. By affirming these rights and values, each American benefits from the further advancement of liberty and justice for all.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2010 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month by fighting prejudice and discrimination in their own lives and everywhere it exists.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.

BARACK OBAMA

From the Huffington Post: The Spiritual Significance of Pride

What is the spiritual significance of pride?

June is Pride Month for millions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people across the country. During this time each year, we commemorate the weekend of June 27-29, 1969, when the patrons of the Stonewall Inn bar in Greenwich Village, fed up with police brutality and harassment towards the LGBT community, resolved to fight back. This turning point represented the birth of the modern LGBT-rights movement.

Many LGBT-affirming churches and other religious communities hold special events during the month of June, including LGBT-themed prayer services and liturgical celebrations. In fact, many of these congregations send contingents to walk in the various pride marches that occur across the country in June. Pride Month is a time for spiritual communities to give thanks for a loving God who has created LGBT people in God's image and likeness and for the intrinsic goodness of our bodies and sexualities.

Pride Month is also a time to honor our LGBT saints and ancestors, including the drag queens at the Stonewall Inn who courageously liberated us by starting the Stonewall riots, as well as all those known and unknown people before us who died of HIV/AIDS or were felled by anti-LGBT violence. Indeed, Pride Month is a sacred time for many of my fellow lay and ordained ministers in the Metropolitan Community Churches, a denomination that was founded by and for LGBT people but that is open to all.

Unfortunately, many anti-LGBT Christians have condemned Pride Month as a sinful celebration of debauchery and perversion. They have pointed to the scantily-clad and outrageously-dressed individuals in pride marches as evidence of our nation's moral decay. Fundamentalist Christian protesters have lined the streets holding signs with biblical warnings of how LGBT people will burn in hell for all eternity.

All kidding and stereotypes aside, this is one must re-post post. There is so much hysterically amusing about the post itself and even more extraordinarily laugh out loud inviting are the links associated. I couldn't help myself but making a note of the site and bookmarking it for later review.

I've heard it said that laughter is not only healthy for the soul but the mind and body as well. In this instance it is on oh so many levels. From the fact that these gents used the term "gay" during a time when it was specifically meant to describe an emotion (or did they!?!) to the whole inspired questions based on the 10% logic around how many of these Fellow's really were gay then as we deem the term today.

Although the term "gay" as used most often today is not necessarily used as a negative itself like such as "fag" or other words that folks have taken back to reclaim power...I can't help but recognizes the power that sort of masquerades behind the curtain.

So, go ahead...let it out and laugh in an uninhibited way! Surely the unintentional ramifications in this day and age associated with the poses and titles makes it perfectly acceptable. Much like your Mother explaining why you won't want a tattoo because of what others will think when you are old and in a nursing home. Enjoy!

'Lesbians make better parents', government adviser says Posted: 16 Nov 2009 03:20 AM PST A government adviser has said that lesbians make better parents than straight couples. Professor Stephen Scott told a meeting last week that research showed children raised by lesbians tended to have higher aspirations.

Finally, what many of us know to be true is slowly but surely making it's way to the mainstream. When I refer to many of us, I am referring to the human beings with eyes, ears and skills of observation that they themselves use to form their own opinions and judgments. Fancy that, they actually prefer to risk ridicule or being identified as the Neighbor on the block with Cooties rather than stand behind conclusive judgments rallied out in desperate fear.

It might shock you to know that many of these daring souls are even heterosexual and I would bet, not only is their probably one or two living on your block, in your apartment building or down the alley from you...but many of you probably work with a few and even more surprising, they too face homelessness and continued attempts to be silenced and oppressed. Simply for speaking out and sharing what they know to be true.

Does this remind you of anything!? We'll leave this as our brain tweezers for the eve. Certainly won't take an Einstein to offer a few examples. For most of my lifetime the mainstream media has consistently allowed and perpetuated many of the absurd myth's that are associated with sexism and homophobia related to the risks that society at large & children of gay and/or lesbian parents face to perpetuate fears and dominate their outlets with very little challenge.

At times they have chosen to just stand aside as faulty and biased research, studies and professional opinions have dominated the airwaves rather than take the lead and provide the public with an opportunity to hear a more thorough, balanced and logic based perspective which often times is as available to them as simply answering & opening their door to just one of the many who have been knocking for years to have the opportunity to make such accurate information available. More often than not this has led to the public forming judgments & opinions with strong biases and inaccurate information.

Research according to the above article is now demonstrating that lesbian's seem to be quite successful at inspiring their children to reach beyond what were once traditionally sexist professions. In other words I would surmise this implies male children of Lesbian Mom's are growing up to successfully become Nurse's, Flight Attendant's & service professionals while female children of Lesbian Mom's are growing up to successfully become Fire Fighter's, Electrician's & Engineer's and they are accomplishing this more often than the male and female children of heterosexual parents.

Now personally, I would think this would be a no brainer but apparently we needed a study and a Gay News service to bring it to the masses. Ironically I say no brainer because of the simple truth that ALL parents desire better lives for their children. I really mean ALL in a universal way. Women in general for generations have faced oppression without even getting so far as to actually identify a sexual preference. When you add on the weight and intense burden faced by Lesbian Mom's and give it a good honest hard look eye to eye...beyond your familiar zone, It's a burden I seriously doubt many men could carry for long outside of a county jail or psych hospital.

Perfect Timing 4 The Exclusive Vashon Button

The children of these extraordinary Mom's make it a point to support and encourage their children in ways that do not hinder, oppress or restrict and I would think this would be especially so when it came to professions that they themselves perhaps could not get into. Such encouragements are part of the natural process associated with change, progress and the fundamental breaking down of barriers. I am proud of the women that came before me and because of them, I am more able to offer the young women after me the kinds of opportunities that now, many probably could not even imagine NOT having.
