Obama Renews Gay Commitment
June 13, 2008 by admin
Renewing his commitment to gay rights advances, Sen. Barack Obama has pledged to put the weight of his administration behind two key federal bills.
In an open letter to gay voters titled “Obama Pride,” the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said he has long fought to “eliminate discrimination” against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans.
“And as president,” he said, “I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes and pass a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act to outlaw workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.”
