President Obama has outlined his administration's agenda on civil rights (and many other areas, including: the economy; energy and the environment; and national defense) on WhiteHouse.gov, the official website of the President.
About half the Civil Rights page is devoted to the President's support for the LGBT community, including this quote:
"While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. 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 about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect."
-- Barack Obama, June 1, 2007
Well said!
