The Obama administration — ever eager to advance its 2011 theme of “winning the future” — has now extended the three-word slogan to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality with an official White House web page: “Winning the Future: President Obama and the LGBT Community.”

Brian Bond, deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, described the page in an email as the “first ever LGBT specific constituency webpage” and wrote, “Please take a look at our Winning the Future for LGBT Americans factsheet (http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/factsheet_lgbt.pdf) and sign up for our e-mail updates (http://www.whitehouse.gov/webform/sign-updates-issues-impacting-lgbt-community) that will keep you up to speed with what is going on in the Administration. We encourage you to spread the word about this site to your friends, families, and the communities you work with.”

In addition to the fact sheet and email sign-up page, the LGBT home page contains links to the administration’s “It Gets Better” videos; White House blog posts relating to LGBT issues; LGBT-related news releases from the administration; and links to resources, including StopBullying.gov, AIDS.gov and the Defense Department’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal page.

The two-page, “The Obama Administration’s Commitment to Winning the Future for the LGBT Community” fact sheet contains many bullet points of accomplishments — similar to but more expansive than Tuesday’s 2011 LGBT Pride Month proclamation from Obama — and three bullet points about future progress. The “progress” points all relate, at least in part, to relationship recognition — a topic absent from Tuesday’s proclamation.
