Gay military families intentionally excluded from launch of First Lady's military families initiative
by John Aravosis (DC) on 4/12/2011 11:47:00 AM

For two weeks a gay group tried to get the White House to invite a real live gay person to Mrs. Obama's event honoring the families of service members. The White House refused. The First Lady's office even had the audacity to claim that DADT tied their hands, which was absurd, since the White House invited representatives of groups serving straight military families, why couldn't they have invited a representative of a gay group, someone who was already retired (thus no DADT problem)? It was suggested that they do just that, and the White House refused.

4. Maybe she's just un-comfortable around gay people

Could happen you know.

6. This program is not about Mrs. Obama's personal comfort.

When a class of people are excluded from Federal programs, we call that discrimination.

3. Don't you recognize fierce advocating when you see it?!

5. Her program is being run by a human rights violator

and the man who lied to the Tillman family. It's already a joke.
