Michelle Obama Speaks to GLBT Community

Michelle Obama addressed GLBT delegates including Tammy Baldwin, Barney Frank, and other GLBT leaders from around the country.
“We want to make our nation a place where everyone gets a shot regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation,” she said. “You in this room are setting the tone for everything we’re doing this week.”
Obama spoke about the progress the GLBT community has made. She noted that 88 years ago this week, women won the right to vote, and 45 years ago this week, Martin Luther King, Jr. made his famous “I have a Dream” speech.  “It’s been five years since Lawrence v. Texas and 39 since Stonewall, and we’ve still got work to do before we achieve equality,” she said.

Michelle and her husband, Presidential hopeful Barack Obama have certainly stepped up to the plate for the GLBT Community
