    Following is the official Obama agenda for supporting the homosexual agenda. More space is devoted to this than all the rest of the "civil rights" issues. It is disgusting that such sinful conduct would get so much favorable attention for our President. Of particular disgust is the adoption "rights" being advocated for homosexuals which stands as a total defeat of the "private bedroom" defense some seem to rely upon. It is so sad to see America fall this low at such a high level.


    Support for the LGBT Community
    "While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect." -- Barack Obama, June 1, 2007
    • Expand Hate Crimes Statutes: In 2004, crimes against LGBT Americans constituted the third-highest category of hate crime reported and made up more than 15 percent of such crimes. President Obama cosponsored legislation that would expand federal jurisdiction to include violent hate crimes perpetrated because of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability. As a state senator, President Obama passed tough legislation that made hate crimes and conspiracy to commit them against the law.
    • Fight Workplace Discrimination: President Obama supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. While an increasing number of employers have extended benefits to their employees' domestic partners, discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace occurs with no federal legal remedy. The President also sponsored legislation in the Illinois State Senate that would ban employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
    • Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.
    • Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage: President Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006 which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman and prevented judicial extension of marriage-like rights to same-sex or other unmarried couples.
    • Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell: President Obama agrees with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili and other military experts that we need to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve. Discrimination should be prohibited. The U.S. government has spent millions of dollars replacing troops kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation. Additionally, more than 300 language experts have been fired under this policy, including more than 50 who are fluent in Arabic. The President will work with military leaders to repeal the current policy and ensure it helps accomplish our national defense goals.
    • Expand Adoption Rights: President Obama believes that we must ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. He thinks that a child will benefit from a healthy and loving home, whether the parents are gay or not.
    • Promote AIDS Prevention: In the first year of his presidency, President Obama will develop and begin to implement a comprehensive national HIV/AIDS strategy that includes all federal agencies. The strategy will be designed to reduce HIV infections, increase access to care and reduce HIV-related health disparities. The President will support common sense approaches including age-appropriate sex education that includes information about contraception, combating infection within our prison population through education and contraception, and distributing contraceptives through our public health system. The President also supports lifting the federal ban on needle exchange, which could dramatically reduce rates of infection among drug users. President Obama has also been willing to confront the stigma -- too often tied to homophobia -- that continues to surround HIV/AIDS.
    • Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS: In the United States, the percentage of women diagnosed with AIDS has quadrupled over the last 20 years. Today, women account for more than one quarter of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. President Obama introduced the Microbicide Development Act, which will accelerate the development of products that empower women in the battle against AIDS. Microbicides are a class of products currently under development that women apply topically to prevent transmission of HIV and other infections.

    He will ensure that preaching against homosexuality will become illegal. It will no longer be able to be called a sin, producing a watered down gospel.


    Meaning an employer would have to employ homosexuals, day care, churches, etc.

    Legalized homosexual marriages.

    More homosexual adoptions, teaching kids theres nothing wrong with homosexuality, it is to be accepted, and is a legitimate possibility for them, explore before you choose to be heterosexual.

    Don't want AIDS, don't have sex outside of mariage, or use illegal drugs. Thats how you stop AIDs, thats how you combat the spread of AIDS.

    Thats right, the President should recind those ridduclious regs about weight standards. Many GI's were forced out of the Army because they were overweight.
    Why should they be forced out when the CDC has a report that it could be in the genes?

    No, because you could be totally faithful, and unbeknownst to you, your husband has a one-night stand and boom....YOU, the innocent spouse gets infected.

    Or, one could be the victim of a bad blood donation!

    One thing about AIDS, at least it is not all on the backs of homosexuals!!!

    Cheers,

    Aids primary cause is homosexual males. Of course it is a consequence of sin.

    No, its sole cause is the HIV virus. It is not a retribution. What did Ryan White do to deserve it?

    Nothing you have said proves it is not. There is a huge difference between retribution and consequence. When a drunk driver hits someone that is a consequence that effects innocent parties. When you drive drunk and die in an accident that is also a consequence. When someone has a transfusion and gets aids it is the same thing as when an innocent party dies as a result of another drunk driver.

    Aids is a consequence of homosexuality regardless of who gets it.

    Mitch, the things you come up with show a gross lack of information.

    Like I SAID, don't have sex outside marriage, there you go. In your scenario, someone had sex outside marriage. Like I SAID.

    Really? Currently 53% of all those infected with aids are a result of homosexual male to male contact. The 47% is spread out among all other forms of transmission according to the CDC. The very first cases of aids was found in homosexual men in 1980.

    So you don't think not having sex outside marriage, not being homosexual and not using illegal drugs will keep you from getting AIDS? Many more people have gotten it this way then by blood transfusion. And like I SAID already, if people stopped having sex outside marriage, stopped participating in homosexual acts,a nd stopped using illegal drugs, soon there'd be no AIDS for anyone to get.
    Get at the real problem, sin.

    Obama's National Platform for Homosexualtiy is Gnostic, and It Will Be Judged:

    Read on:

    Revelations 2:18-29....To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. 0Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets (I will not impose any other burden on you): Only hold on to what you have until I come. To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations-'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery'- just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

    No...you can still preach the truth. There may be legal consequences, but you can still preach that its a sin.

    The gospel is watered down only when people capitulate.

    But in that scenario, you did not. You behaved and someone else didn't. You cannot contol another person. And has also been pointed out, a blood transfusion could do it too.

    So the 47% don't count? And I also recall reading that heterosexual contact is the main means of transmission in Africa. <PA clipped - LE>

    I have to agree with Revmitchell & DonnA on the issue. If you don't have sex outside of marriage & if you don't use drugs, then you don't have to worry about getting AIDS. Except maybe in extreme case where someone tries to pass the disease onto you.

    When it was first dicovered very little was known about it. That's why you had people getting blood transfusions & then suddenly getting AIDS. I remeber in my 7th grade science class (in 1990), they said (I'm assuming it was the CDC) AIDS couldn't be transmitted by being kissed. Only about a year or two later, then they said that its passed through bodily fluids, which would include kissing.

    My whole view on AIDS is that God created it as punishment. I'm sure a cure will be found, but only when God is ready for a cure to be found.

    I'd be careful about blaming God for something so evil.

    Since you have made an accusation I assume you can prove it. So go ahead and prove I hate homosexuals? Or else repent.
