What:
Press event drawing attention to Obama's emerging homosexual- and transsexual activist agenda:

• Obama's radical appointments including anti-traditional-Catholic Harry Knox (of the homosexual lobby group Human Rights Campaign) and Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN) founder Kevin Jennings;
   
• Hate Crimes bill;
   
• Obama's radical promise to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), signed into law by President Clinton in 1996);
   
• Obama's ENDA (Employment Nondiscrimination Act) plans to force businesses to approve of homosexuality;
   
• Obama's plan to homosexualize the U.S. military (repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell");
   
• Obama's confusion about Christianity, the Bible and homosexual practice;
   
• Obama's lack of mandate to push the envelope on homosexual and transsexual issues

"Americans are largely ignorant about President Obama's extreme pro-homosexual goals, which includes repealing DOMA and homosexualizing the U.S. military," said AFTAH's Peter LaBarbera. "We are thrilled that these organizations and leaders are coming together to expose Obama's 'gay' and transsexual agenda -- for which he has zero mandate because these issues were almost completely ignored in the general election campaign."

Matt Barber, Liberty Counsel attorney and AFTAH board member, said: "By pledging his support for every demand of extremist homosexual pressure groups President Obama has revealed himself to be out of step with those he serves. For example, he has promised to homosexualize the military supplanting sound judgment with San Francisco vice. It's dangerously irresponsible for the President to place political correctness above national security. Now is not the time for sexual revolution in this nation. Now is the time to return to the values that made this nation great."
