I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.[Emphasis mine]

We used to have a flag pole in our home in El Cerrito. I collect flags and have flags of 29 nations, a few states, plus miscellaneous ones like the rainbow, the Italian peace flag, and the flag of TEC. I will eventually get one installed here so I can enjoy flapping colorful fabric against the sky once more.
Great picture!
El Cerrito, CA? I went to high school there...
As for the president, talk is cheap, and he didn't really say much.
Yes, IT, zip 94530 itself. When we moved to the Bay Area we lived in Albany from 1981 to 1991, then El Cerrito until I moved to Hercules in 2002.
Yes, Obama has a loooooong way to go on LGBT issues and it has not been impressive to date. Let's consider him a work in progress.
