"Within an hour of his swearing-in, the following was posted on the official White House website, as Obama’s immediate “civil rights” goals.
* Protect cross-dressing and transgenderism in workplace (including schools) through federal law: Pass “Employment non-discrimination Act” [EDNA] to prohibit “discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression”.
* Expand hate crime statutes, including the radical “Matthew Shepard Act” which would allow the federal government to prosecute and punish if the crime was perceived to be “motivated by prejudice based on the actual or perceived . . . gender, sexual orientation, gender identity” of the victim.
* “Reinvigorate” the federal Department of Justice to pursue prosecution current hate crime laws against citizens.
* Repeal the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA]
* Push for full civil unions and federal recognition of homosexual couples, with benefits equal to actual marriage. (This appears to be leading up to full federal recognition of same-sex “marriage”.)
* Allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military - repeal “Don’t ask don’t tell.”
* Use the federal government to expand adoptions of children by homosexuals.
* Using the federal government to push for more sex-education and contraception in schools and throughout society (especially in light of the goal to repeal DOMA)."

Sorry, Lindy, but I have too much joy in my heart, celebrating the awesome inclusiveness expressed through Christ's love for ALL of his children and how well this has been expressed in Washington this week. No time for exclusions.....
Sorry, it took so long to respond...but you are right Lindy. It is your blog and your opinions. So, I'll leave it as we can agree to disagree. Hope you get rid of your cold (Dad always said "seven days coming and seven days going!") and the water issue gets taken care of soon!
