In a stunning proclamation yesterday, Barack Obama announced that June 2009 is officially Gay Pride Month—something that, until now, only beer and vodka companies have had the courage to do for the past 20 years by way of advertising on table tents and cocktail napkins.
With no mention of all the recent gay marriage rulings in various states, and yet a bizarre mention of repealing "don't ask, don't tell" (which is still being wholeheartedly enforced), Obama wants you to feel good about being gay. He's here for you. You might even say he has...empathy.
Aside from the proclamation itself, Obama would also like to remind you that "there are many well-respected LGBT
leaders in all professional fields, including the arts
and business communities." ZOMFG. Read the whole thing after the jump, especially if you want to learn more about how "LGBT employees are doing their
jobs with distinction and professionalism." Uh, thanks?
