LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS ADMONISHES THE WHITE HOUSE FOR LETTING DOWN AMERICA ON VITAL ISSUES CONCERNING SECURITY OF THE NATION, PROTECTION OF RIGHTS & FREEDOMS.

(Washington, DC) - Following the White House reception in honor of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Pride Month, Log Cabin Republicans, the nation's oldest and largest conservative LGBT advocacy organization, issued the following statement: "President Obama's comments smack of a lack of authenticity and true understanding of the issues that face our community,” states Terry Hamilton, Chairman of the Board of Log Cabin Republicans.

"While the President draws attention to advances resulting from the Stonewall Riots 40 years ago, LGBT Americans are still being denied the most basic protections on his watch today.  Under the direct order of his appointees, mission-critical gays and lesbians are still being kicked out of the military, families are being torn apart due to unjust immigration laws and life-long partners are still not being recognized in family planning matters."

Log Cabin Republicans spokesperson, Charles T. Moran makes the following statement: "It is pretty entertaining to watch the President throw himself a "Pride Party" after taking a pass on acting upon several issues that would have fulfilled his promises to our Community. He seems to be proud of advances made by the LGBT Community that he had nothing to do with.”  

"Hollow words and false promises do not define a legacy or an Administration. This Administration has had several opportunities to act and follow through on its commitment to the LGBT community,  making life better for millions of Americans. Hosting this 'sideshow' reception only rubs salt in the wounds of so many that actually believed his message of 'hope & change,' " states Moran.
