Obama Issues Proclamation on Gay Rights

President Obama isn't doing enough, quickly enough to suit many gay Americans, but today he did issue a proclamation for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month." In the proclamation, Obama mentions the legislative priorities, including overturning the Defense of Marriage Act that defines marriage as between one man and one woman and allows states not to recognize gay marriages performed in other states and the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that bars gays from serving openly in the military. "I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans," Obama says in the proclamation. Full Story from Boston.com - Click Here
