Michelle Obama says Barack Obama will support gay equality
”Barack believes that we must fight for the world as it should be, a world where together we work to reverse discriminatory laws…. We are all only here because of those who marched and bled and died, from Selma to Stonewall, in the pursuit of a more perfect union…. The world as it is should be one that rejects discrimination of all kinds
