Michelle Obama at the LGBT Caucus

August 27, 2008

Tuesday, our future First Lady, Michelle Obama, spoke to the LGBT Caucus at the Democratic convention. I’ve loved this woman since we were first introduced to the Obamas, but it gave me goose bumps to listen to a potential first lady speak so intelligently on gay issues. Can you imagine Laura Bush or Cindy McCain even saying the term “LGBT?” If you’re not yet convinced that Barack Obama is supportive enough of gay issues, I think the fact that he and Michelle actually acknowledge that we exist is a hell of an improvement over the alternative.
