The day after the House and a Senate committee voted to repeal the U.S. military's ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military, President Barack Obama ushered in another month-long celebration of the homosexual lifestyle. With Obama's blessings, LGBT month kicks off

As he did last year -- and as President Bill Clinton did for the first time in 2000 -- Obama proclaimed the month of June as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month." President George W. Bush issued no such proclamations during his two terms in the Oval Office.
Obama's proclamation on Friday touts how his administration has "advanced our journey" in what he describes as a "movement for fairness and equality" for the LGBT community. He cites specifically the signing into law of the controversial "hate crimes" legislation and the elimination of the HIV entry ban into the U.S.
The proclamation also delineates the president's intentions to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act, to secure adoption rights for LGBT "families," and to bring the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy to an end.
