![]() ![]() ![]() I am proud that as Chair of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee in 2006, I worked closely with LBGT community to develop a smart strategy that defeated the Federal Marriage Amendment.Senator and as a candidate for President in working toward the fair and equal treatment of LGBT Americans. I am proud of my record as First Lady, as a U.S. The best evidence of what I will do as President is what I have already done. And no community has been more invisible to this administration than the LGBT community. It’s been a government of the few, by the few, and for the few. For seven long years, the Bush Administration has tried to divide us – only seeing people who matter to them. I am fully committed to the fair and equal treatment of LGBT Americans. ![]() Let me tell you what I have been telling voters across America. Sometimes they wait furtively for the crowd to thin and then whisper their confidences in a soft voice and sometimes they stand up proudly at town meetings and want me to share my views on how I will help lead the change to assure that this country fulfills its promise to everyone. A woman will ask why she can be discriminated against just because of who she is. On the campaign trail, a father of a gay son will ask about ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. €œAs I have traveled around the country these past twelve months, what I sensed in my heart has been confirmed – America is embracing its LGBT sons and daughters with an acceptance and understanding as never before. ![]()
