Michelle Obama: My Husband Will Fight for Gay Equality


Michelle Obama (seen-l), wife of Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama, spoke Thursday night in New York City at a fundraising dinner for the Democratic National Committee's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council.

Michelle Obama stated that her husband will fight for gay equality, just as he fought to help working class families overcome poverty. 

Mrs. O, reminded followers of her husband's strong record to push for workplace discrimination legislation in his home state of Illinois, where he served in the legislature.

Barack Obama stated that it should be up to individual states, to decide whether to allow gay marriage. Michelle Obama commented that her husband wants equal treatment for any relationship recognized under state law.

The DNC reported the dinner raised more than one million dollars for the cause.

Thanks for the support Mrs. O!
