Obama makes history by citing gay rights in inaugural address

Obama delivering his inaugural speech

President Barack Obama made history in his inaugural address on Monday when he mentioned the word “gay” and spoke on the issue of gay rights for the first time in a presidential swearing-in speech.

“Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well,” Obama said in his address on the Capitol steps after his swearing in.

He continued, “We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal….”

The speech was highly praised by gay and lesbian groups across the United States.

It was described as “historic” by Brian Ellner, who led the successful campaign to make same sex marriage legal in New York state. “The president placed the fight for gay equality alongside the struggles for women’s equality and civil rights. He made it clear that he would continue to fight for marriage equality because all love is equal,” Ellner said.

“We were honored that the president included Stonewall among the historic events in American history that have made our union stronger,” said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, one of the largest gay rights organizations.

“Stonewall” refers to a riot and protest over a police raid in June 1969 of the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village.

But not everyone is happy about the president’s speech.

Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow for policy studies at the conservative Family Research Council, said he agrees that while that all people are created equal by God and all people should be treated equally under the law, “the president is implying that some people are created or born gay and I do not believe the evidence supports.”

    So tell me this!
    You claim to be a christian and you know your book of revelation well. IF so, and you believe “all these things should come to pass and then shall the end come”, why are you so upset at Obama? Based on your beliefs, you should be happy the man gonna get the things done so the end could come.

    You doh want you eternal vacation to hurry up and come den?

    Sometimes you so claimed Christians are just confused and confusing!!! If you want the end to come, them somethings must happen, so let the things happen.

    If you don’t based on your very beliefs, you are an obstacle to the PLAN while Obama is executing his end.

    Ok, again, Jesus died for our sins. He was supposed to be sacrificed, but if no one did it, it would not have come to pass right? So let Obama execute and you set home and read your single book and shut up! You all didn’t vote for Obama, and a lot of you are here in the USA illegally and will be marry same sex for Greens cards. Some of you even marry for green cards, but you all take about how sacred is marriage..>

    A Message for all

    It is our duty to speak and write the truth without watering it down and denying it. God created babies who grew to adulthood. He did not create homosexuals and lesbians. If you think so, then you can say that he created criminals of whatever nature and murderers. As adults grew up, they developed their character and personality traits, many according to their nurturing; others according to the company they keep. Some of it is hereditary. Therefore, do not blame God for the path you choose. It is obvious that you have not practiced the faith as you should. Your parents may not have shown a good example by bringing you into their faith, on matters of morality and instructing you accordingly. What happens? It is exactly as Our Lord said: “Apart from Me you can do nothing.” Then you go from good to bad as you age.
    Yes! God loves us all with no exception. Know that He does not love sin and opposes sin. The fact that two people of the same sex want recognition and equality as two people of the opposite sex, it is ridiculous. It is the worst thing that has happened to the world in this century. They do not consider the bad example which they project to the youth.
    Some of our politicians have also contributed to it, by initiating in Legislatures and Parliaments of the world. While ignoring the poverty in their land, the expend much time and energy in discussing this abomination and then legislating it as if it is a good thing for the world. This does not benefit society whatsoever. The majority (of votes) always win. It does not mean that they are correct and have done well for the nation. By no means! They have set the world on a path of sinfulness and destruction, also of souls. They have angered God and will bring down His wrath on them, their endeavors, their household and their family including the nation. Their names are also written in the Book of Damnation for endorsing and instituting immorality in the land.
    These people are of the opinion that they have rights to get married. You do not have a right to be recognized and get married for your relationship is abnormal and also goes against the Law of Nature. Your actions are not in accordance with the Christian Faith and the beliefs in this case of those who are not Christians. Your actions create lack of love, peace and division in the world.
    The only right you have is to be recognized as a human being, to be accorded your due right and dignity “as only a human being, created by God” and right to a job. Once employed you have the right to fair employment and pay which you are qualified for; also fair housing. These are all your rights which are many.
    It is not your right to expect the whole world to approve of your abnormal ways and to encourage and applaud you. It is not your right to want those who oppose your abnormality to shut up and say nothing. If you can loudly proclaim and force your beliefs and actions of your relationship to the world, we can loudly proclaim our opposition to your relationship.
    We have as much rights as you have. We cannot go against our godly beliefs, teachings and morals. This is also called freedom of speech which we have a right to. We must not approve of abomination in the land. We cannot sit back, observe and say: “to each his own.” It is our business. This type of immoral action is affecting the world and people of the world. We are the world and children/adults of the world. It is our duty to assist the world, to teach it on matters of morality and righteousness and making it a better, happy and peaceful place to live, bearing in mind that God will judge His people, one way or the other.
    In fact, if we remain silent, Our Almighty Father will hold us accountable. Consequently, His punishment will be severe and more so for those who knew better and neglect their godly duty. For, He spoke through the prophets, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, His Blessed Son, through His disciples and missionaries. Today, He speaks through the priests and pastors. He also speaks through us, His people on matters of faith, hope, trust and morality. All these who are godly people are obligated to speak the truth, stand up for it, pass it on and condemn immorality, the latter which is destroying adults and children, their hearts and souls. Their first duty including us, the laity, is to God and to their flock. They must think of the apostles and disciples who stood up for the truth with no fear. They have persevered to the end and received the crown, the prize, their heavenly reward. Our Lord said, “Do not fear. Fear is useless. I am with you.” Be bold, be strong for the Lord thy God is with thee.
    Our Lord said, “Those who know (better) and do not do it, it is a sin – The Parable of the Talents and Vigilant and Faithful Servants. In this respect we will be answerable to God if we turn a blind eye and deaf ear and neglect our Christian duties.
    Our right is to stand up for the truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His teachings and morality. To also inform those who act contrary to the Law of God and of Nature and that they have gone astray and are on the path of perdition. Our right is also to pray for them that God will bless and grace them, that He may reveal the truth and enlighten them; that they will turn to God, conform to His Holy Will, pray to him for forgiveness, repentance and follow the godly path which He has set for them and other members of humanity. This will appease our God. If we have done that, in the end as St. Paul, we will confidently say I have done my best, passed the test and won the race, Heaven is my reward. Thanks be to God.

    It was so sad to see President Obama sink to an historic low by lending his voice to support the gay agenda in his inaugural address. Because of America’s size and the place it occupies on the world stage the nation is a trend setter in today’s world. Already one of America’s ambassadors while serving abroad has taken the liberty to speak of gay rights and say that incriminating laws against homosexuals should be eliminated. Mr. Obama seems to have forgotten that the Word of God says “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” The Bible forbids homosexual practices. St. Paul wrote “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change

    • January 24, 2013

      Rev. Donald Hill (continued) … the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themseves that recompense of their error which was meet. Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind… (Romans 1:26-28). St. Paul goes on to say “…they which commit such things are worthy of death…” (Romans 1:32) Studies show that there is a higher rate of alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicide among homosexuals, and they tend to have a shorter life span. I suggest anybody who wants to know the truth about homosexuality read the book HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE POLITICS OF TRUTH by Dr. Jeffrey Satinover, M.D. Dr. Satinover has practiced psychiatry for over twenty years. He has lectured in Yale University and Harvard University. In this book he give gives documented evidence showing the social discord, mental distress, and physical damage caused by hmosexual practices. Using the facts of science from study after study he blows away the lies and half truths that have fuelled the militant march of the “gay” movement for half a century. He lays to rest the myths that homosexuals are born that way and cannot change their orientation. This book can be ordered from AMAZON, the world’s largest online bookseller.

    Dominicans seem to get offended and emotional when the subject of gays and lesbians come up for debate. I’ve said it many times in the past, and I will say it again: we are, indeed, hypocrites. We condemn gays but we go to church and we sit and listen to priests (some of whom) are guilty of molesting young boys. The solution by the church….shuffle them around like a deck of cards to another parish and unsuspecting parishoners, only to have them engage in the same conduct and violate young boys. Isn’t that sin too? We pick and choose which sins are an abomination; in my humble opinional, all sin is the same.

    People are quick to judge others about their sexual oritentation however they claim only God can judge – well that alone should tell you something. But before pointing fingers at others how about people start looking at themselves and how they have sinned based on the Bible or God’s teachings. Who has made judgments about others/made judgemental comments in this article or the many others on DNO yet you yourself:
    -Have had sex for fun and not purely for procreation
    -Have had sex before marriage
    -Have had children out of wedlock
    So before judging others for their sexual orientation, take a look at yourself. If you’re going to claim you are of Christian faith lets not pick and choose verses and chapters that make you feel better about life and forget the ones that you have not followed.

      They are not judging others. Some of you do not know the difference in judging, speaking the truth and against this abomination which is also immoral.
      As long as we live, we will continue to speak against it, also to the politicians who represent us, wherever we reside. This is our God-given human right. God enlightens.
      You are in dire need of godly spiritual enlightenment. We do know that such a relationship, between the same gender is abnormal and offensive to our God. Sensible people should know this. Pray to God for this enlightenment.

    I admire Obama for lifting the spirit of a black man by becoming the first black man to lead one of the greatest nations on earth. But Obama is not The Almighty I believe in, and the word of God is the same today as it was yesterday. We cannot support something which is abominable for convenience, most of the crimes committed today are a result of us condoning sin and other unethical actions. Love the sinner but hate the sin.

      What about incest?????
      Based on the things you learn, in the beginning incest was not a sin. The only why we could multiply from one couple is if the first children committed incest.

      So tell me again?

      Get your head out of one book and relate what you read with our universe.

    Denmark says that both men and women’s haircuts must cost the SAME PRICE

      I can understand that the cost of cutting a man or woman’s hair should be the same. This is, if they have the same length of hair. In this respect, there has been a lot of discrimination in this respect.
      Times have changed. Consider, too that women are now working. Some of them make more money than some men.
      In bygone years most women did not work. They stayed at home to care for their children. In those days men got paid more than women for doing the same job. This was discriminating.
      During a relevant on-the-job conversation a now former manager informed me that the reason men got paid more than women was because men’s clothing as also shoes cost more than women. In recent times women have lobbied the government to enact such changes.
      Nevertheless, those who have relationships with the same gender, for this reason should not be recognized as equals and not allowed to get married. They have no right to be recognized as heterosexual couples. Some politicians/ governments as Obama have it all wrong. They have lost it. I am not impressed by Obama. I would not applaud him for that. On the contrary, I feel sorry for him for propagating same sex relationships and so-called marriage. God will deal with him and such people in time. They will live to regret it and also when they die.
      Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “When He returns to earth, ensure that we are on his right hand side.” Homosexuals and lesbians are out of it. They are presently on the left side. This is, if they continue in this state to death. Be enlightened.

      January 24, 2013

      God knows our heart and how godly and sincere we are. There is more to God and about God than meet the eye and with our limited minds. Some are not as enlightened as others and you depict this.
      God will judge all sinners. Some will make amends, penance and restitution to God as they age and even on their death bed. Others will not.
      One thing I will inform you is that homosexuals and lesbians will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, the pure and holy Throne of God if they die in that state. They have proclaimed their lifestyle to the world in front of God.
      In Toronto of all, a previous mayor of Toronto granted them permission to have their so-called gay pride parade on a Sunday. Christians know that Sunday is the Lord’s Day. It is an offense to God of all to have such an ungodly parade on the day we should be worshiping Him and spending quiet and visiting time with family and friends, be it at a picnic after giving God his dues by going to church.
      The Third Commandment of God is: “Remember Thou Keep Holy the Sabbath Day.”
      Do you think that God is pleased that such an abomination takes place on a Sunday?
      As Christians, we should know what St. Paul stated, speaking through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, “Nothing defiled will (ever) enter Heaven.”
      Homosexuals, lesbians, atheists, agnostics, those who do not live God’s Ten Commandments, who do not practice the Christian faith of all and “who die in that state” will be prohibited from entering Heaven. Tell this to Obama and any politician and others who support them. They are quite liable to follow the same path of perdition to eternity. This is stating the truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. For specifically the love of God and for the salvation of souls, we must not compromise the truth and our faith. Woe to us if we do.

      DId you choice to be straight? So how being gay is a choice?
      A choice is made when they are options. IF you didn’t choice to be straight, then it is not a choice to be gay.

      Its like choosing to steal or not to steal.

      Its like choosing to tell the truth and not a lie. If you were to say telling the truth is not a choice, then telling a lie wouldn’t have been a choice either.

      If one is a choice, the opposite is a choice as well. But you don’t believe you made a choice to be straight but was born that way, so are any people.

      And if you try to refute this, please tell me what is the opposite of Straight? And if you reply “not straight” then what is that? Gay ?

      Simply put, choice mean they is more than one to choice from. So please tell me at what point did you choice to be straight?

      At the same time we must inform them of the error of their ways that they may change for their earthly and spiritual good. People choose their lifestyle and the path. It is either Heaven or Hell. Give this a good thought.
      There are those who do not want to hear the truth and will denounce the truth that others state. They must keep in mind that God is taking note of our words and other actions as imbedded in our hearts and minds for our eternal judgment, even while we are living.
      We are reminded: “Remember our end.”

      Life is short and death is sure.
      The hour of death remains obscure.
      A soul you have the only one,
      If that be lost all hope is gone.
      Waste not time while time shall last
      For after death ’tis ever past.
      All seeing God our Judge will be,
      And Heaven or Hell our destiny.

      No one will stand before God and say that I have been a homosexual and lesbian and that the government approved of my marriage to the same gender. Consider where they will end up. By no means in Heaven.
      Always speak and write the truth. If you do not know it, pray to God for discernment. He created the world and mortals. We are answerable to Him and must give Him an account of our God-given allotted life and time. Governments are null and void in this respect. Their immoral legislation will not gain anyone who practices it nor themselves Heaven.
      I have informed and warned a politician who represents me in Parliament about this. I have a letter from him that he replied to my writing. He told me that he is not in favor of this type of relationship and legislation and will not vote for it. You, too, should do likewise. You owe it to God, to country and nationals including yourself and your children. Consider, before God, if you fail to do this.

    Obama has greatly disappointed me. I was one of his supporters but I no longer support him. I do not wish him any harm. Our Lord said, “Vengeance is Mine! I will repay! God requires of us and expects from us patience.
    There are some politicians who think that what they do, their scandalous approval and legislation are pleasing to God. It is are not pleasing to God. They are so ignorant (or ignore) that they do not realize they have a mandate to God to legislate morality and not immorality. They are answerable and accountable to God.
    I feel sorry for those politicians who promote this so-called gay and same sex marriage. It is shocking that educated and experts are not always intelligent people. This is a typical example. One has to be really stupid and senseless to recognize, approve of and legislate marriage between same genders. It makes no sense whatsoever.
    God created Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve.
    What would politicians not say and do to be popular and to remain in office?
    Our Lord said it very well. “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul – for all eternity?”
    God is taking note as they also contaminate the minds of the youths.
    If it were not for the prayers of some people in the world, God would already have rained down fire and brimstone on this world.
    I am repeating what the Mother of God, the Ever Blessed Virgin Mary stated to a visionary some years ago: “The world is in a state of sin worst than at the deluge. It is necessary for God to purify the world.” The situation is by far worst.
    It is coming but we do not know when. Christians must pray fervently that “God’s Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” This is in the Our Father.
    As God looks on and heard, Obama (and others) proclaiming to the entire world that they approve and uphold unions between people of the same sex, Obama’s day is coming. It includes all others who approve of this abomination and those who participate in it. They will be extremely disappointed when they stand before the Lord for their eternal judgment. It will be too late for them to know better and to return to earth to make amends, as they will say, “If only I knew.”
    Well, they knew because they are aware that many people specifically genuine practicing Christians oppose this abomination which is a downright scandal and an insult to God, slapping him in the face, defying him, and going against His intended plans for all members of humanity, solely between “a man and a woman”. Woe to them as they age and on that inevitable day!
    Let them rejoice and laugh. As the saying, those who laugh last, laughs best – will get the better laugh.

      Be happy u didn’t marry a gay man. But I know many who have, and trust me, they wish those men didn’t use them as an experiment.

      So before you judge, leave the people alone. IF you believe they are going to hell, well alas, allow them to have their heaven now before the fire you believe that will burn them.

    I am sorry Obama is script written. In his first year he says “I believe in man – woman marriage”…during his campaign Obama`s Vice President Biden,came out and says he believes in man and man, and woman and woman, what nastiness. This therefore lwft the Obama to come out and say so instead of firing Biden he bowed to to the white class. Obama is script written.. He should go to he poor balck areas of America and lift up his black people from poverty, now ypou talking shit about gay……..good luck Obama, sorry fpr you. Just anorther American

      Obama and Biden are hypocrites. As politicians they do not stick to their words. Biden’s mother was a stunch Catholic and so is he. He loved his mother and often mentioned her. If this lady was alive, she would be shocked at his words.
      Sometime ago Biden was questioned about this issue. He had a different story which was relayed through the U.S. Media.
      Four years ago when Obama assumed the presidency, the first thing he did was to organize a dinner on the grounds of the White House for those so-called gays – who voted for him. They expected pay back. They can applaud him but he is not God. When they die they will not have to answer to him but to God. If Obama’s words/speech did not impress many of us (and there are many serious, genuine Christians of all in America) including the entire world, consider how it did not impress our God.

        Obama’s father was a Muslim. His mother was not married to his father. He left her when she was pregnant with Obama. She has a daughter (Obama’s half sister) who resides in Ontario, Canada. His grandparents, now departed, on his mother’s side resided in Hawaii. It is said that he was born in Hawaii or elsewhere in the U.S. This is controversial. He and his mother also resided in Indonesia. It appeared that his mother did not practice any faith especially in her latter years.
        Obama is neither here nor there. He is not a genuine Christian. He lacks godly enlightenment. He is lacking in godly knowledge which is why he promotes this abomination and also for votes. He is on his last lap and we hope we never hear about him in the public, political arena again. Patience!

      I think its so stupid for you to say that Obama is supporting gay rights for continued votes. HE HAS ALREADY WON AND CANNOT BE ELECTED FOR A 3RD TERM!! In addition, he has always supported equal rights for gays; hence the reason gay marriage is legal in several states. It is their decision; stop being so close minded and foolish. I doubt you would appreciate anyone trying to dictate what you do in your personal life.

    The day when you have to give account, there wil be no gay person giving account for you, it will be you and you alone. Bitter waters and gnashing of teeth for you man. It shall not be good for you. Be careful that you don’t leave this office in disgrace.

    That is why I will never support Obama; he is a wolf in sheep clothing.

      Word Bro,

      Sacred, God made sex between a man and his wife sacred, one flesh, one spirit,(unity in soul, body and spirit)that’s pure in the sight of God. The one desire in a male man that can be truly satisfied by a female woman in the context of mariage, sex outside of marriage is called fornication, sex between two men or between two women, sex with animals or things is pollution of that sacred gift of God, it called ABOMINATION. Anybody practicing these abominations with the breath of God still in their nostrils is under the direct punshment and condemnation of God, its just a matter of time untill you hear of their passing. Jesus said its APPOINTED unto man ONCE to die BUT after this death comes the judgement. Born again christian or unsave, as soon as your breath/spirit leaves your body you are judged by God right away, their is no waiting period. (read the account of the rich man and lazarus in the book of Luke). No amount of novena can cause God to change his mind. In fact man on earth cannot interfere in God’s judgement of a soul that has just died.

      Well thats about 99% of mankind then who will not enter the Kingdom of God as going to church does not make you christian. Nor being able to quote the bible. That neither makes you christian. Your actions. What is in your heart. That makes you christian.

      So turning a blind eye to the politricks of your country. Secretly celebrating another’s bad fortune. Taking handouts when you could work. Taking bribes and rationalizing the taking of such bribes. All sinful. And going to church to pray it all away so you can do it again doesnt make you christian either as that means your hearts are black and you are using church to cloak your black hearts and bad intentions.

      When you give back the money, for example and admit to the world to taking a bribe, that is proper cleansing. So like I said, 99% of mankind will NOT be entering the kingdom of God no matter how mmuch you go to church and quote the bible 8-O

    If God don’t Judge America, especially the people who promotes and practice these abominations.He owes the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. For destroying them, for this very act president Obama is promoting.Even worse because man was not marrying man in Sodom.
    He did not mention in his speech about the 500 murders in 2012 mostly among the blacks in his own home State.Nor the unemployment catastrophe under his presidency which is spreading like a cancer, again among the black people in the U.S.

    God is always right all the time.And all the time God is right.for He hath said.
    Righteousness exhaust a nation,but sin is a reproach to any people.Proverbs 14:34

    He accused Bush for taking a credit card from the bank of China and piled up so much debts on the U.S.He said this is unacceptable and unpatriotic.
    Now get the truth.Bush’s debt was $4 trillion in 8 years.Obama $6 trillion in 4 years.
    Presently every dollar Obama is spending, 46 cents is borrowed money.The U.S.is borrowing $3.3 billion each day.last year Obama spent $1 trillion more than he took in taxes.The U.S. is paying $2 hundred million per year in interest.
    Under Bush every man woman and child was owing $37.000.Under Obama $57.000.
    Obama took office January 2009 30 million people were on food stamp.In 4 years under Obama 47 million.

How someone more mighty than us can create all these marvelous wonders,and uphold everything with his strong arms. God word says In wisdom He made them all the whole earth is full of the beauty. The only living God, only true God, only wise God, only powerful God, he is the one who made all things and keeps all things in check, with all your athiestic beliefs God still loves you, so dont reject Jesus cause those who reject Him have already made the choice of where they intend to go.

      You may not have heard of this that in the past four years Obama was accused of homosexuality as a student. This happened in the back of a taxi as the taxi driver who drove him and a friend reported. I herd it on CNN! As he appears to be a loving husband, this information was exposed to Americans and all others of the world who heard and read of it. It may be the reason why he is pro-homosexuality/lesbian and so-called same sex marriage.
      Aside from the votes he received from them, there may be another underlying reason for his outburst of this immoral promotion. He may be trying to hide something. The person had planned to expose him further.
