That is pretty awesome, actually.

Nice thumbnail. Where's the link to the real document? I want to read the text at the bottom.

LOL,"a blank sheet of paper." Are sure that wasn't Obamas.

LOL CHURCHILLY-Y LOL

Actually, I just used something called "the Internet" to find Obama's proclamation. It said this:
"I am proud to join with our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters in celebrating the accomplishments, the lives, and the families of all LGBT people during this Pride season. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans.

"It's time to live up to our founding promise of equality by treating all our citizens with dignity and respect. Let's enact federal civil rights legislation to outlaw hate crimes and protect workers against discrimination based upon sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. Let's repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell and demonstrate that the most effective and professional military in the world is open to all Americans who are ready and willing to serve our country. Let's treat the relationships and the families of LGBT Americans with full equality under the law.

"We are ready to accomplish these goals because of the courage and persistence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who have been working every day to achieve equal rights. The gay couple who demand equal treatment in our family laws as they raise their children; the lesbian soldier who wants nothing more than to serve her country openly and honestly; the transgender workers who ask for the simple dignity of being judged by the quality of their work. Generations of LGBT Americans, at once ordinary and extraordinary, have made possible this moment in our history. With leadership and hard work, we can fulfill the promise of equality for all."

— Senator Barack Obama, June 6, 2008

I looked for a proclamation by John McCain, but I found none. Maybe my Internet is broken?

So we don't get 100% of everything we could ever possibly want from Obama; that still beats the 0% offered by mccain.

Looks a lot like Howard Dean's proclamations while Governor of Vermont.

WE got nothing from Obam but words. He stioll believes seperate but equal. What have any dems done to repeal doma, or dadt? Just as much as repubs. Nothing.

But Obama is taking lots and lots of money from the gay lobby, Michelle is giving speeches to the Gay and Lesbian leadership council. So when, or if, he is elected, he will be answerable to gays, whether he likes it or not. That said, I genuinely believe Barack Obama is honestly in favour of easing the inequality between gays and straights, so the gay lobby isn't going to have to kick up a fuss to get him to keep his words.

He believes in marriage between a man and woman … just like the vast majority of the US. If he said he wanted full marriage rights for gays, he wouldn't get elected and where would be then? With a republican in power who would not only ignore our needs, but actively work against us by putting conservative judged into the supreme court and championing the Christian right. The choice between McCain and Obama is simple for gay people.

Having read that proclamation — I could be stretching things a bit — it seems like Obama is all but saying "I support equal family laws for gays". In my opinion, marriage is a family law, but, again, it could be a stretch.
