The White House issued a statement in advance of Gay Pride Month, declaring
LGBT rights to be human rights and recapping President Obama's efforts at
advancing equality here and abroad.
"The story of America's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT)
community is the story of our fathers and sons, our mothers and daughters,
and our friends and neighbors who continue the task of making our country a
more perfect Union," reads the statement. "It is a story about the struggle
to realize the great American promise that all people can live with dignity
and fairness under the law. Each June, we commemorate the courageous
individuals who have fought to achieve this promise for LGBT Americans, and
we rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless
of sexual orientation or gender identity.
"Since taking office, my Administration has made significant progress
towards achieving equality for LGBT Americans. Last December, I was proud to
sign the repeal of the discriminatory 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. With
this repeal, gay and lesbian Americans will be able to serve openly in our
Armed Forces for the first time in our Nation's history. Our national
security will be strengthened and the heroic contributions these Americans
make to our military, and have made throughout our history, will be fully
recognized.
"My Administration has also taken steps to eliminate discrimination against
LGBT Americans in Federal housing programs and to give LGBT Americans the
right to visit their loved ones in the hospital. We have made clear through
executive branch nondiscrimination policies that discrimination on the basis
of gender identity in the Federal workplace will not be tolerated. I have
continued to nominate and appoint highly qualified, openly LGBT individuals
to executive branch and judicial positions. Because we recognize that LGBT
rights are human rights, my Administration stands with advocates of equality
around the world in leading the fight against pernicious laws targeting
LGBT persons and malicious attempts to exclude LGBT organizations from full
participation in the international system. We led a global campaign to
ensure 'sexual orientation' was included in the United Nations resolution on
extrajudicial execution — the only United Nations resolution that
specifically mentions LGBT people — to send the unequivocal message that no
matter where it occurs, state-sanctioned killing of gays and lesbians is
indefensible. No one should be harmed because of who they are or who they
love, and my Administration has mobilized unprecedented public commitments
from countries around the world to join in the fight against hate and
homophobia." | k*****e
