Without fanfare, Obama advances transgender rights
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — President Barack Obama, who established his bona fides as a gay and lesbian rights champion when he endorsed same-sex marriage, has steadily extended his administration’s advocacy to the smallest and least accepted band of the LGBT rainbow: transgender Americans.
With little of the fanfare or criticism that marked his evolution into the leader Newsweek nicknamed “the first gay president,” Obama became the first chief executive to say “transgender” in a speech, to name transgender political appointees and to prohibit job bias against transgender government workers. Also in his first term, he signed hate crime legislation that became the first federal civil rights protections for transgender people in U.S. history. SOURCE

5 things to know about transgender people
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — President Barack Obama has quietly done more to advance rights for transgender people than any other president, but they remain among the nation’s most misunderstood minorities. Here are five things to know about transgender America: SOURCE
I am NOT a tolerant person. I know what I am and what I believe and I consider it to be my RIGHT to express my views and to hold these beliefs as much as *others* are entitled to espouse theirs.
I honestly don’t care which team you play for, that is your business, but when it starts to affect the politics of America as a whole, when the POTUS is more concerned with the rights of homosexuals and transsexuals than he is with the care of wounded Vets and Americans in need, well, then it becomes my business, and anyone that thinks I won’t have a few things to say doesn’t really know me.
Transgender is the state of one’s gender identity (self-identification as woman, man, neither or both) or gender expression not matching one’s assigned sex (identification by others as male, female or intersex based on physical/genetic sex).[1] Transgender is independent of sexual orientation; transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, or asexual; some may consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable to them. The precise definition for transgender is changing but nevertheless includes: SOURCE
Can a human being actually be of *both* sexes? According to articles I have read; yes, it is a possibility and that person can possess the sexual organs of both male and female. In a case such as that I can fully understand the need, or want to change yourself into the dominate gender that you feel yourself to be. I can’t even begin to imagine the life quality and confusion someone must experience that is of BOTH sexes.
In MY opinion; to have sexual reassignment done just so you can be the skankiest skank at the tranny party is just plain damned WEIRD. I have never understood cross-dressers of either sex, I don’t understand how anyone can be *gay*, a word I rarely use because it is a bastardization of the word and I have absolutely NO grasp of what would inspire a person to have themselves *modified* to what is supposedly *the other sex*.
Again, in MY opinion, sexual reassignment does NOT make a woman into a man or a man into a woman. If it does then I want to see some serious reproduction, but that isn’t going to happen simply because the person that has had sexual reassignment is a FAKE and is only fooling themselves, regardless the outcome of their transformation.
Gay gubernatorial candidate leads pride parade in Maine
PORTLAND, Maine — A Democratic congressman and gubernatorial candidate who reluctantly made public his homosexuality last year found himself serving as the grand marshal of Maine’s biggest gay pride parade Saturday and urged activists to continue fighting to eliminate discrimination and promote equality.
Rep. Michael H. Michaud, who would become the nation’s first openly gay person to be elected governor if he unseats Republican Paul LePage in November, said it would be powerful for the gay community to have a seat at the table in discussions with governors across the country on equality issues.

A few weeks ago I made a post on Facebook that was, according to some, very politically incorrect. Imagine that; me not being politically correct. 
I made a kinda/sorta tacky comment about *the little fags* or something similar and it drew a few responses from friends in agreement with my position on that particular article.
Now imagine my surprise when a guy that I have known for 20 years made a comment in response that let me know, in no uncertain terms, that he was offended by my words because he is a homosexual. Actually he referred to himself as a *proud gay male*.
In other words; he outed himself.
Again, I don’t care which team you swing for, what you do in your private life, in the privacy of your is your business, but for the life of me I just don’t understand this *Gay Pride* thing and why they feel like they have to force it off on others.
Biblical issues aside; how can you be PROUD of being a pervert? What kind of perverse thrill do you get by outing yourself on a Facebook page? Is there some type of pleasurable sensation achieved through *shock value*?
How in the HELL can ANYONE be proud of being a homosexual and why do we, the American public, have to be deluged with their public displays of perversion and open support by the President of the United States for acts that are in no way NORMAL?
I know, some of you are going to say that sexual orientation and politics don’t go together and that it’s none of MY business.
Tell that to the PERVERT in the White House and tell the News Media that forces these views and stories off on the 97% of ALL Americans that aren’t homosexual.

“Biblical issues aside; how can you be PROUD of being a pervert?” BINGO! As usual you are able to put the entire issue in a single sentence. Like the other 97% of Americans, I am sick of having homosexual issues thrust upon me in the media and suspect it is a presidential priority because he has the “problem” in some fashion.
I honestly believe Obama is hitting BOTH sides of the fence, and that is HIS business, right up until the time that HE pushes HIS agenda of on US..

I am so cutting and pasting this to my Facebook page. Should get the friends list to self-trim a bit.
Thanks, Fred!
If the truth hurts them, you haven’t really lost much…
Fred, I have decided to use your forum to come out. I want everyone to know I am GAY. That is, GAY AS HELL, I AINT QUEER.
I don’t know if you ever met my Mom, she was a psychiatric nurse at Schumpert on the 9th floor back in the late 60’s and through the 70’s..
I blew her mind one night, we were all out to dinner and I announced that I was a Lesbian… Her reaction was one of total shock until she took a moment to think about what I had REALLY said…
Her response? “I’m so proud of you for that…”
I know you remember Bo Rambin, PIO for SPD… He was family, my Mother had delivered him back years before when they couldn’t get Miss Ida from Rambin to the hospital in Mansfield in time.
Well, Bo had just recently outed himself when Caddo S.O. found him engaged in some sort of sex act with some guy(s) at Wallace Lake Dam… That was about the time I told Mom I was a Lesbian… LMAO
You hit the nail on the head, great post
obama can push all he wants I will still wear my “Fags are Queer” T-shirt
Transgendered= “I want the right to decide what sex I am and I want the right to change it as I see fit” But being gay is not a “Choice” they say…
This all boils down to Obama as usual; Look back over the last 6 years. Every time something was denting his halo, he performed a “Social justice” executive order or gave a speech on his desire to enact a “Social justice” program.. In 2010, he tried the illegal immigration for a bit, but then went to the DOMA/DADT campaign. In 2012, back to the gay well for gay marriage… Now, with all the scandals he’s embroiled in, back to the LBGT for another “Look what I did”
The question I have is, Obama is black, the black community has been hurt more under Obama than any POTUS the last 25 yrs. 95% of Blacks voted for him twice. Do they feel slighted? Do they see they got played?
Obama has given everything to the gay groups, he’s trying to give everything to the illegal groups.. What’s next? that should worry everyone.
Tried to comment, but got a message told me I was being “spammy”. What does that mean. Not trying to sell anything…just post a comment.
What do you suggest. Nothing in my comment is selling anything…other than an opinion.
dekare, we tried to contact you on your email. It was bounced back. Might be the “Aol” email server is returning bad packets, might have to do with additional links inside post. Might be many things. We can dig deeper if you would like to but we will need to do outside of fred’s blog.
Try this for me if you’re interested in resolving this issue. Try to make the same comment on a different post. (Fred or I will delete if it goes through) just a troubleshooting effort…
If not, sorry for your trouble.
June is gay pride month in the DOD. I can’t speak for the other branches but the Air Force is having celebrations any gatherings along the lines of Black History Month.
Dekare, are you including a lot of links in your comment? Have you commented here before? Is your email correct?
Fred, it may have to do with his ip check your blacklist see if there’s any connection there. If all of these questions are answered and he still can’t comment, I’ll figure it out.
He comments here all the time, and has for quite a long time…
Fuck all of them, use obama’s dick!
That sums up my feelings…
I will sum up my comment very shortly. The fact is, that gay people were, for many many years, upset over being bullied over their life choices. Today, we are seeing gay people who have become bullies, so much so, that they are intent on destroying people’s lives, over their life choices.
Gay people have become what they supposedly despised. They have become the aggressive bullies. They are no better than the gay bashers themselves.
Couldn’t have expressed it any better dekare.
I seem to be posting on the TF blog with people in my age group. When I was growing up I first encountered queers when I went to high school and it was a school for boys. We had the Irish Christian Brothers, along with several lay teachers (no pun intended) and the subject of homosexuality was never directly addressed as I recall. My generation seemed to be against the same sex thing and yes, queers were spoken of in a derogatory way. Look at the attitude today and tell me why I have to respect the rights of a mentally confused individual. To give any group, in this constitutional republic, special rights because they are mentally challenged, is simply unconstitutional. If you choose to be a homo, a Republican, a Democrat, a Communist (Progressive), a Libertarian, a supporter of illegal immigration (La Raza), or choose any other label you want, then prepare to take the licks that come with your position in this debate. To vilify one group and endorse another is not what FREE SPEECH is about. Let the MSM push the social justice crap all they want. I have faith that the political pendulum is swinging back to the right unless the voting system is truly corrupted………… By the way Fred, I too am a lesbian. Great post.
I forgot to add this in the beginning of my reply. I wend to HS back when the air was clean and sex was dirty.
Agree with your take on the subject Wayne. Good post Fred. Another case where Obama is taking care of his own kind. Have never met a queer, who wasn’t in some way screwed up in the mind. These folks should never be placed in positions of power within our government unless you enjoy watching train wrecks.
This is how homosexuals have progressed:
1) From tolerance
2) To acceptance
3) To advocacy
If you are not an ADVOCATE, then you are sexist.
The entire LGBT crowd demands ADVOCACY and nothing short of it.

What else can you say Fred..you hit this one out of the park….I just do not understand what it is that attracts someone to a mans hairy ass! Just can’t figure it out……
Hooray, another lesbian. I’m glad to be among the 97%.
Maybe they use some kind of hair remover?? The idea is beyond me… I always figured if there was ANY thrill I needed and a woman couldn’t provide it, I didn’t really need it…
“Maine’s biggest gay pride parade”
There was most certainly a ‘Permit’ issued for this event.
In this day and age, do you really suppose that we could get a ‘Permit’ to hold a “Christian Pride Parade” or a “Conservative Pride Parade” or a “Heterosexual Pride Parade”?
1 out of 3 is not good enough.
Got the same comment as Dekare about being ‘a bit spammy’. Has something changed? What triggers this message?
Nothing has changed since this blog was started… If I knew what was causing it to happen I would fix it, but telling me you got a warning message tells me NOTHING… What was in your comment? Email it to me and let me look at content, maybe then we can get an idea..
okay, Fred. Have done. Thanks.
