The Cybercast News Service website reports today (June 30,2011) that President Barack Obama praised gays in his speech at the White House yesterday, while celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) "Pride Month."
"We've got community leaders here. We've got grassroots organizers," Obama told the gathering in the East Room of the White House.
"You're fighting for the idea that everyone ought to be treated equally, and everybody deserves to be able to live and love as they see fit," the president added.
Obama -- who portrays himself as the most pro-homosexual president in American history -- supports civil unions of gays, but has not endorsed same-sex marriage. He has said that his views on same-sex marriage are "evolving."
