Michelle Obama says Constitutional Amendment Protecting Marriage is a “Stain on the Constitution.”


August 27, 2008On August 26, Michelle Obama gave a speech to the gay, lesbian and transgender delegates at the Democratic National Convention where she promised that her husband Barack would give full support to the homosexual agenda if elected President of the United States. The luncheon was hosted by homosexual legislator Barney Frank.

.During her remarks, which were repeatedly interrupted by applause, Mrs. Obama told the audience that when her husband became a member of the U.S. Senate, “he voted to protect our Constitution from the stain of discrimination by voting against the federal marriage amendment.”

.“Michelle Obama and her husband apparently believe that defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman somehow ‘stains’ the Constitution,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. “This is a frightening revelation of the thinking that motivates Michelle and Barack. We face a frightening future with Michelle Obama as First Lady and Barack as Commander-in-Chief.

“Barack Obama says he will work to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, which protects states from having to recognize homosexual marriages, but also says he thinks marriage is a union of one man and one woman. And his wife now says a marriage amendment will be a stain on the Constitution. They’re talking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue. They’ll apparently say whatever it takes to get elected.”
