Obama still hates gays, loves votes

Tentimesfast posted a story about Barack Obama's South Carolina tour with "radical right singer who crusades against the 'curse of homosexuality.' "

Looks like Obama is sticking to his guns.

Earlier this week, the Human Rights Campaign protested the tour and asked Obama to drop the anti-gay minister, Donnie McClurkin, from his fundraising tour. Instead of dropping the hetero hot pocket, Obama decided to clarify.

From The Washington Blade:

"I strongly believe that African Americans and the LGBT community must stand together in the fight for equal rights,” Obama said in a statement. “And so I strongly disagree with Rev. McClurkin’s views and will continue to fight for these rights as president of the United States to ensure that America is a country that spreads tolerance instead of division."

Methinks Obama is still willy nilly on LGBT rights and doesn't know what to do with the pickle he's found himself in. I don't think he realized the power of Teh Gay when we all mobilize. Stay tuned.
