Obama Talks Gay Rights and His Love for Lady Gaga

Posted on October 12th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: Barack Obama, Bolitics, News

During his Human Rights Campaign dinner speech, President Obama made light of human rights by making a joke about Lady Gaga.

Flip the hood for more on Obama’s speech and new pics of the first fam. 

He said he has truly made it since he opened for her, but more importantly about ending the military’s “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policy.”Obama spoke vividly about the acceptance of ALL people in the military:

“We should not be punishing patriotic Americans who have stepped forward to serve the country. We should be celebrating their willingness to step forward and show such courage, especially when we are fighting two wars. I appreciate that many of you don’t believe progress has come fast enough. Do not doubt the direction we are heading and the destination we will reach.

Despite the real gains that we’ve made, there are still laws to change and still hearts to open,” and says discrimination needs to end, “whether in the office or the battlefield…Do not doubt the path we are on or the destination we will reach.”

    It takes a certain type of courage to join the military and risk your life for something bigger than yourself. Anyone who decides to do that deserves our gratitude, not ridicule.

  • Racialism

    @Nique

    Equality is equality. People shouldn’t be discriminated for the way they were BORN whether that be the color of your skin or sexual orientation.

    You need to “GTFOH!!!” for being such a hypocrite.

    If you can’t give “others” the same equality you want for yourself them you are nothing but a hypocrite.

    WAAAH! My miniority status is more important than your minority status. WAAAAAH!

    @Symone

    nothing has stopped them in the past so this isn’t an issue it’s a distraction on why we’re not pulling soldiers out of Iraq nor will we “entertain” the proverty and job issues here in the U.S.

    So we have been the best Armed Forces in past years because…

    Now we can be even better with feminine males…my bad…but I oppose…I’ve served at least 8 years…

    I’m sorry I am becoming more Republican every day. If Obama changes those military policies, the world will look at the US in disgust. When I was in the Marines it was bad enough having to shower with a bunch of chicks, now you will know who’s a butch, dike, and pillow princess…no thank you. I would rather not know, than to have to deal with this shit.

    WHAT DAY OFF.

    I’M COOL THOUGH…I JUST GET TIRED OF EVERYBODY KICKING HIS BACK IN AS IF HE’S BEEN PRESIDENT FOR 8 YEARS AND HE STILL DIDN’T DO CRAP….9 MONTHS ONLY.

    HOW’S YOU DAY OFF BIG BRUH?

  • lovely one

    @ Anthony
    Thanks for the truth. Other than that, here are my points:

    1.) If gay men and women want to be in the military, enter…please…cuz I’m not fighting in nobody’s damn war.
    2.) I thought that men and women were separated in the military to reduce “emotional ties” of any kind which would make a soldier more vulnerable during war.

    For instance, a man is fighting along his girlfriend and she dies. Instead of continuing the fight, the man would rather cry by her lifeless body.

    I dont care if gay ppl join the military but to have emotional ties with another soldier may make that soldier vulnerable. IDK

  • Bryan712

    Please stop using the bible to justify your hate. The bible was written by man, not GOD. GOD is not hate. If you want to hate someone who has never and will never do anything to you personally, then just admit that you are a hateful person. The bible is full of antiquated knowledge. It shows that man was only able to put in it what he knew at the time. For example the bible says that everthing in our solar system revolves around the Earth. GOD created the universe and he would know better. We now know, thanks the the work of many scientists, that everything in our solar system revolves around the sun. Scientists were burned at the stake for trying to bring this knowledge to the world. Galileo was tried and put under house arrest for the rest of his life, because he dared to oppose the church and the bible. He was right. Man is hate and he included plenty of it in the bilbe. GOD created everything in this universe and everything has its purpose.

    YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SICK OF SEEING? I AM SICK OF THE RADIO AND MUSIC INDUSTRY SABATOGE BLACK ARTIST AND GIVING THERE STYLE TO WHITE ARTIST.(NOW I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST WHITE ARTIST OR WHITE PEOPLE) THE PROBLEM IS SO OBVIOUS. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A COUNTRY ARTIST OR POP ARTIST SING ABOUT “I WAS GETTIN SOME HEAD” OR “MY CHAIN HANG LOW” OR I WHERE MY PANTS LOW” OR “BIRTHDAY SEX” OR I WISH I COULD F EVERYGIRL IN THE WORLD” LIKE REALLY DO YOU THINK THAT IS A COINCIDENCE? OF COURSE NOT. BLACK MUSIC IS BEING STOLEN AND GIVEN TO OTHER ARTIST TO ELATE AND THEN THE ONLY MUSIC THAT CORPORATE AMERICA WILL ALLOW ON BLACK RADIO IS THE NEGATIVE OF OUR PEOPLE BLACK MUSIC IS THE REAL MUSIC BUT IT HAS BEEN POLLUTED AND DILUTED ON PURPOSE. I REMEMBER ANGIE STONE AND AL GREEN GOING OVER TO EUROPE TO HELP”MOLD” A SOUL ARTIST GIVE HER SOME POINTERS ON HOW TO SING SOULD. JOSS STONE!! ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU PAID THESE GOONS TO GO OVER AND TEACH HER HOW TO SING BLACK OR WITH SOUL!!!IDIOTS THAT IS SOMETHING YOU CANNOT TEACH IT WILL EVENTUALLY GET OLD REAL QUICK. YOU CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF BLACK R&B FEMALE ARTIST WITH SUBSTANCE ON 1 HAND. BUT BEYONCE(NO OFFENSE) RIHANNA(NO OFFENSE) CIARA (NO OFFENSE) KERRI HILSON( NO OFFENSE ARE THE ONLY ONES YOU HERE ON THE RADIO GETTING SPINS AND HEARD ALL OVER THE WORLD AND PROMOTED CORRECTLY. WHY IS THAT? CAN SOME ONE WITH SOME SENSE PLEASE HELP ME TO HELP MYSELF AND MY PEOPLE FIND THE MUSIC AGAIN AND NOT BE AFRAID TO STAND UP TO THE NEGATIVE IMAGERY AND NEGATIVE INSULTS THAT CORPORATE AMERICA IS TRYING TO PAINT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT OUR MUSIC

  • Oh my goodness…

    The thing I dont understand is how soem black people can be homophobic but turn around and cry racism whenever possible. If you know what its like to be discriminated against, then how in the hell are you going to turn around and do that to someone else? A mess.

    I feel if gays want to serve in the military, let them. Who is someone else to tell them they cant fight for their country…the only thing that irritates me sometimes is everyone feeling as if Obama owes them something other then to work everyday to try to get this country back on track. Quit acting like the dude is Jesus, cause the ish isn’t cute.

    Als, its not up to Obama to legalize gay marriage..that is a state by state issue…always has been. And there isn’t anything he can do if we still have some of these bigoted and corrupt people in Congress that will vote legislation down instead of pushing the country forward. Some of you need to get educated before you speak on these types of issues. Ya’ll n*ggas sit on this site and talk sh*t all day, doing nothing with yourselves then have the nerve to talk about Obama and what he’s doing? GTFOH!

  • womensadvocate

    @ Anthony,
    I like ur extensive biblical verse, i was wondering if you have heard of the concept of “SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE”

  • LovelyLady

    Gays should not be allowed to marry or adopt. Thats my opinion and that is all…..

    you should alter your name to ignorant lady that likes to prohibit the autonomy of other individuals. that is MY opinion and that is all

  • Glok..Meet Lev 20:13!!!

    I DIDNT SAY THE N WORD ONE TIME IN THAT LAST POST ..SO IM IMPROVING MY VOCAB!

  • womensadvocate

    OK Lovelylady,
    I am so late to class, but one last response. I like how u didn’t spaz out, you have some character. But there is such a thing as separation of church and state. Thus I can “walk with Jesus” and support gay rights because its a clause of the state.

  • womensadvocate

    @ Glok,
    LOL!!! I am glad you are improving your vocab. I am really proud of you, now articulate yourself without cussing and we will be achieving real progress. :D

    FYI, this is the only name that i blog with.

  • rude gyal

    @Glok

    lol…don’t fret that shit…just Obama’s intern distracting you from real topics…lol.

  • rude gyal

    @Oh my goodness

    I take it you were referring to me…lol. Okay first of all you would have to know what I do for a living to NOT BE IN THE FIGHT…

    I’ve been apart of the cause since my youth and have experienced arrests as well as scrutiny from my co-workers on up to the top executives for my efforts.

    One thing I do not like is for people to say what I ain’t doing and don’t know my life’s walk…

    Do you know there’s easily something for us to do everyday in the black community…more than what your president has done in this community since I’ve been working these streets…

    Children I have my own plan…I’m not waiting on anybody’s hero…so how about you go get informed…or come to one of my after school programs…I have 6 year olds that may know more about politics than most of you.

    I don’t think you should compare gay rights and black rights. Gay people can do anything straight people can do.

    @LovelyLady

    I just wish they didnt use the black civil rights struggle as a crutch. I dont remeber hearing about blks using what America went through to gain independence from Britian as their excuse. We fought our own battle and made our history without having to use someone elses.I gather they are trying to get the blk sympathy vote which isnt working

    Nuclear armed Pakistan is destabilizing right before our eyes and Obama has to worry about this stuff?

  • t

    the policies might as well be changed. i was in the military for 6 yrs and was gay for all 6 of them and there were PLENTY of other gay ppl in during that same time and this was back in 98 so pls get over the bullshyt…gay ppl been apart of the mitliatry. hell most of the ppl i hung out with were gay and the ppl around me knew i was gay, my boss included. what yall need to do is GTFOH w/ that end of days shyt bc gay ppl been aound since the beginnning of time just like str8 ppl and we’ll be here until the end of time whether you liek it or not. you dont have to agree w/ it or like it and you can follow your religious beliefs but what you;ve lost track of in the midst of that is a common respect for all HUMANS. i dont give a flying fuk if you like/agree with the way i live my life but i do thank GOD for obama and the fact that he can see that church adn state must be seperated. hell thomas jefferson could see that and you still got mf’s trying to run the world according to religion. the first amendment states freedom of religion so i may not believe what u believe and that should not allow you to have rights that i dont. also there are more important things in the world than gay rights just like there are more important things in the world than black rights but you still fight for your rights dont you??? well our ancestors did, these days its just abunch of lazy black nigg@s that dont do shyt but sit back, compalin, and judge. thank you obama. you ppl filled wit hate shouldve voted for the repubican so they could keep passin laws to leave ya slow asses behind…

  • rude gyal

    @t

    since you made it thru gay…then the policy can stay as is…it hasn’t scared gays in the past…

    I don’t mind your lifestyle…just don’t flaunt it in from of me or my children, and since some gays can’t reframe from being so colorful and loud and obnoxious…then that’s who I think about and frown on.

  • rude gyal

    If we open up the gate to unveil gays…I say open up the gate for prisoners to fight too…hell some of them are gay…the system got some of our strongest men locked up…they could be putting that strength to good use!!!

  • t

    i actually agree that they should not chg it but obviously for different reasons. they shouldnt chg it bc when we go to war gay ppl will just have to go now. hell i like the option of being able to say im gay right before getting deployed so instead of going to take a bullet i can go home bc im gay. im alright with that bc the only time they’ll kick you out is if you actually say it. again my sergeant knew i was gay and didnt have any issues with it. so this is a loss for the gay ppl. now we cant get out w/e we choose.

    THANK YOU. I wish more people had a 1/3 of your logic! I especially agree with the “over-churched, undereducated” bit. Does anyone really think about what it means to be a church pastor? Are people aware that churches take up space and pay no taxes and that areas with higher numbers of churches generally have worse crimes rates and dirties streets? I personally believe that if people spent less time faking the holy ghost at church and more time preaching education, there’d be a lot less gang violence, poverty and unemployment in this country.

    We’re all human beings but there would be a lot less intolerance if we stopped being politically correct and started being honest.
    People resent being coerced into accepting anything which opposes their fundamental beliefs.Left alone,most persons would reasonably and peacefully coexist.
    Sexual behavior is a choice not a cause.
