LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2009
- - - - - - -
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION

Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.

LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. LGBT Americans also mobilized the Nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic and have played a vital role in broadening this country's response to the HIV pandemic.

Due in no small part to the determination and dedication of the LGBT rights movement, more LGBT Americans are living their lives openly today than ever before. I am proud to be the first President to appoint openly LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an Administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public servants, and across my Administration -- in both the White House and the Federal agencies -- openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism.

The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more work to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.

My Administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. We must also commit ourselves to fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic by both reducing the number of HIV infections and providing care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS across the United States.

These issues affect not only the LGBT community, but also our entire Nation. As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

BARACK OBAMA

This is unbelievable. It is almost beyond my scope of comprehension to fathom the WICKEDNESS this Nation of the end time Babylon has fallen to in my 74 years of living in it. NO ONE in my younger years would have ever thought that the President of The United States could make such a proclamation, proclaiming a month of PRIDE for such contemptible behavior. Indeed, any such persons were rightly out of favor with their social network. Certainly NOT raised up on high.

Anyone who thinks that our present woes are over has a great surprise coming. We have not yet reached the bottom of not only our economic chaos, but the spread of disease and increasing natural calamities as well. Judgment is heavy upon this despicable nation that constantly sings, "God Bless America," while the words are rotting in their mouths. Health problems have become so severe that it is now BANKRUPTING thousands of families.

It has come to the place where the sexual deviates have more say than the "Christians," and are moving in militant fashion to close down every church, and every "ministry" that speaks against them.

We are one sick nation that is headed for its final destruction from off of the face of the planet!!!

Jah does NOT change His mind. Read Duet 30, and tell me, are we as a nation under the blessings or the CURSES?!!! How about you personally?

Behold, I set before you this day, Life and Death, Blessing and Cursing. Therefore, CHOOSE LIFE!!! Choose That Which Brings Forth BLESSING!!!

Anyone who is not following the King's command on what we should be praying in this day is in SERIOUS TROUBLE!!! You do NOT take Him for granted, and just expect Him to protect you from it all right where you are. THAT WILL NOT WORK, as many professing "Christians" have already found out in what they have already been suffering.

Luke 21: 34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. ³⁵For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

There is only ONE ESCAPE, and it is Jah's way. He is the one who rules, and the ONLY ONE who rules His Word. Certainly NOT we ourselves who think we can claim some scripture for our own purpose, and cause it to perform to our desires wherever, and however.
