We don’t just talk about mindless celebrity gossip here at LA RAG MAG, we also care about those people that want to run the country, or something.
Obama won Iowa with 38% of the vote and we were rooting for Hillary until we read this following statement his campaign released.
“I have clearly stated my belief that gays and lesbians are our brothers and sisters and should be provided the respect, dignity, and rights of all other citizens. I have consistently spoken directly to African-American religious leaders about the need to overcome the homophobia that persists in some parts of our community so that we can confront issues like HIV/AIDS and broaden the reach of equal rights in this country.”
The statement continues: “I strongly believe that African Americans and the LGBT community must stand together in the fight for equal rights. And so I strongly disagree with Reverend McClurkin’s views and will continue to fight for these rights as President of the United States to ensure that America is a country that spreads tolerance instead of division.”
More African Americans need to realize that we are fighting the same battle and if Obama can spread that knowledge, he’s got our vote.
And he smokes grass.
