Senator Barack Obama has been given the highest rating by Equality Giving and other GLBT groups across America. Two openly gay super delegates have pledged their support to Senator Obama.

The Obama campaign purchased ads in prominent GLBT news papers in Texas and Ohio and Senator Obama supports the FULL REPEAL of DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) while Senator Clinton only wants a partial repeal.
Senator Obama has denounced comments from prominent fundamentalist Christians in the past who have condemned homosexuality, including those who have endorsed him. He has said repeatedly from the beginning that he believes in talking to those whom he agrees and disagrees with. One of the refreshing and hopeful things about him is that he is obviously in support of gay rights. Associating with people who aren’t supportive, offers him a chance to encourage them to change.
How do you expect to positively influence someone if you refuse to interact with them or only interact with them in a negative way?
When he spoke at Ebenezer Baptist Church, home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, he said, "We have scorned our gay brothers and sisters instead of embracing them," and "the scourge of anti-Semitism has, at times, revealed itself in our community," and "for too long, some of us have seen the immigrants as competitors for jobs instead of companions in the fight for opportunity.
Senator Obama and his family have been members of the United Church of Christ for many years.
The UCC has long held close relations with the GLBT community. It was the first mainline Christian denomination to ordain an openly gay man in 1972.
The church has continued to fight for GLBT equality and are famous for their God Is Still Speaking TV commercials.
Now is the time for the Winston-Salem GLBT community to come together in support for BARACK OBAMA!
