Just read this on Perez:
The White House is hosting an event tonight to celebrate LBGT Pride Month and President Obama will be speaking at the event.
Additionally, yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder was praised by a crowd of gay and lesbian employees at the Department of Justice after he promised to use the new laws to protect their presence in the workplace. He said:
“The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which the president signed into law last October, finally protects our nation’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered individuals from the most brutal forms of bias-motivated violence.”
Progress is being made — slowly but surely! Kevin Nix, Director of Communications at Family Equality council explains:
“This Administration has taken small but significant steps in advancing LGBT equality (namely hospital visitation rights). But much more is left to do when it comes to the one million LGBT families raising two million kids in this country–like repealing DOMA and passing the Every Child Deserves a Family Act, which would swing open the doors for LGBT people to adopt. We look to this White House and Congress for leadership on these key issues that directly impact families.”
Yes, there is still much work to be done!

There is still much work need to be done about LGBT. This is off topic but I was listening to radio about the PETA industry. About how they skin animal alive? That’s horrible.

Right now a “Communist” country with a blend of capitalism and socialism is kicking are ass (China; They’ve generated more wealth the past 2 years than in our past 6 years. They have so many infrastructure projects that their national bird is the construction crane. Their highways are clean with no pot holes, They have more personal freedom then we do– they arn’t being extorted by the insurance industry like we are everyday (most affordable health care in the world). Our so-call “freedom/capitalism” is a bunch of B.S. . The GOP are a bunch of manipulating liars that work for super rich people that dump money on people like Rush Limbaugh to lie to the stupid people that vote for idiots of likes of G.W
