Since as we all know, the only thing that matters to Christianity in our time is sex, and gay sex at that.
And here you have the White House officially encouraging gay rights discrimination. Ah, for the ability to believe in Obama's Commu-Oh, bad analogy, the Soviets were some of the worst persecutors of gays around-I mean, Oh for the the idiots who believe that Obama's a prog-Oh, bad analogy, the Progressives were eugenicists and racist. Let's try that one more time-Oh, for the ability to believe that Obama is in any way a social reformer, as I would sincerely love to believe it.
Obama's proven his Christian credentials by this to the Religious Right, surely? After all, the only thing it cares about is teh Ghey, right?

* September 15, 2008 - A Bourbonnais, Illinois elementary school bus driver was charged with leading a homophobic attack on a 10-year old student passenger. The boy was taunted by the driver who then encouraged other students to chase and beat the child.[158]
Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney (DDA) Jay Boyarsky attributed a surge in anti-gay hate crimes, from 3 in 2007 to 14 in 2008, to controversy over Proposition 8. However, the DDA cautioned against reading too much from small statistical samples, pointing out that the vast majority of hate incidents don't get referred to the DA's office.[159]
