What is Barack Obama's opinion of LGBT peple?

Answer 1

His opinion seems to be positive. He has several staff members who are gay or lesbian, and he has also worked with a number of members of the LGBT community over the years. He believes they deserve the same rights, including equality under the law, that heterosexuals receive.

Answer 2

Yes, and he has done so for a number of years. Like many Americans, President Obama's views on marriage equality (or "gay marriage") have changed (he used to only favor civil unions), but his advocacy for lesbian and gay Americans has not changed. In fact, it seems to many that he wants gay rights to be one of his administration's most lasting accomplishments. He has said he plans to sign an executive order to prohibit federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition to speaking in support of marriage equality, he previously ended the military's "don't ask-don't tell" rule, so that gay troops would not be forced out of the military just for being gay.

Answer 3

Yes. For one thing, President Obama repealed the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" presidential order that prevented gays from serving openly in the military. Additionally, he instructed United States attorneys to not fight gay equal rights activist's attempts to have the Defense of Marriage Act ruled unconstitutional. The Defense of Marriage Act was ultimately ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 2013.

President Obama, like many Americans, was not always a supporter of marriage equality, although he did agree with civil unions. But after being persuaded by his daughters, and some of his colleagues who are gay, he announced in 2012 that he had evolved in his views and had become a supporter of marriage equality for gay men and lesbians.
