Please Answer the Question, Senator Obama

The Philadelphia Gay News and the Same Love, Same Rights® Campaign urge Senator Barack Obama to take a stance with regard to the issues directly affecting the LGBT community. It is imperative that voters understand the views of each presidential candidate, as additional states throughout the nation hold their primary elections. It is our right, as voters, to be made aware of the objectives of our next President with regard to all the issues, including those pertinent to the LGBT minority.

The LGBT minority in America is over 19 million strong, and to date we have little clarity about the intentions of Senator Obama concerning our interests. Since April 14, 2008, the Philadelphia Gay News has posed direct questions to both Democratic candidates; Senator Obama is the only one who has declined to respond.

At this time, the Philadelphia Gay News, the Same Love, Same Rights® Campaign, along with those citizens listed below, urge Senator Obama to answer simply one question, to allow us as voters to better understand his position with regard to the LGBT minority in Pennsylvania and throughout America.

Mr. Obama,

“How would you advise Pennsylvania Democrat State Senators to vote on The Anti Gay Marriage Legislation before them NOW. You're running to be leader of the party. We're asking for your leadership. Please answer this ONE question for the LGBT community so we have some understanding of your commitment.”

Thank You Senator Obama!
Thank You Senator Obama! PDF Print E-mail After nearly a week of silence, Senator Barack Obama answered this question in an interview with Capitolwire Bureau Chief Peter L. DeCoursey. Initially posed by the Philadelphia Gay News, the intent of the question was simply to help voters better understand the views of the presidential hopefuls, with regard to issues that matter most to the GLBTQ minority. The question, and Mr. Obama’s answer, follow: Question: “How would you advise Pennsylvania Democrat State Senators to vote on The Anti Gay Marriage Legislation before them NOW. You're running to be leader of the party. We're asking for your leadership. Please answer this ONE question for the LGBT community so we have some understanding of your commitment. Sen. Clinton has said she would urge the Pennsylvania Senate and House to vote against a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage.” Senator Obama: I agree, I've been opposed to a gay marriage ban or a Constitutional Amendment to ban it for a very long time.
