Obama Vs. Gays

As Criticism of Obama Mounts within Gay Community, Gay Rights Pioneer Cleve Jones Calls for March for Equality on Washington

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama signed a memorandum to extend some, but not all, benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees. Comprehensive healthcare, for example, is not included. President Obama's promise to work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, Wednesday came one week after his administration filed a controversial legal brief supporting DOMA, an action which greatly disappointed activists fighting for marriage equality. We speak with Cleve Jones, one of the giants of the gay rights and AIDS awareness movements. He is the founder of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt and the co-founder of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. In the 1970s, Cleve Jones was a friend of the gay rights leader Harvey Milk. Ref.

Gays Vs Obama

The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage is "A victory for America," President Barack Obama said today.

The decision that states must allow same-sex marriages affirms a founding principle for the country "That all people are created equal," Obama said.

"This ruling will strengthen all of our communities by offering to all loving same-sex couples the dignity of marriage across this great land."

Earlier the President called Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the case before the Supreme Court, while he and his supporters celebrated the ruling outside the court.

"I just wanted to say congratulations," Obama said as CNN broadcast his warm words to Obergefell over speaker phone. He added: "Your leadership on this has changed the country." Ref. CNN
