Obama Takes Break From Vacation To Attend 'Gay Games'
As the world falls apart around him, it's not so good to see that Barack Obama still has the time to push
issues that are among his priorities.
(PJ Media) President Obama made a surprise video appearance at the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Gay Games in Cleveland on Saturday. Joining Greg Louganis, Lance Bass, the Pointer Sisters, and Broadway’s Andrea McArdle and Alex Newell in celebrating the event, Obama said, "Since 1982 the Gay Games have given lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender athletes and supporters around the world a chance to come together to compete, celebrate, and inspire others."
President Obama, who is vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, noted how the country has changed since the games began in 1982. "We’ve also seen America change in that time, even since 2006, when the games were last held in the United States in my hometown of Chicago. We’ve come a long way in our commitment to the equal rights of LGBT people here and around the world," he said.
As international crises continue to dominate the world stage, the president took a break from his vacation and busy golf schedule to record the message for the Gay Games, boasting about his accomplishments on behalf of the LGBT movement since becoming president. "I’m proud of my administration’s record and of the citizens who’ve helped push for justice."
