Barack Obama Will Fight for Equality

“Barack believes that we must fight for the world as it should be, a world where together we work to reverse discriminatory laws,” Michelle Obama said at a fundraiser event in New York on 26 June. “We are all only here because of those who marched and bled and died, from Selma to Stonewall, in the pursuit of a more perfect union,” she said, making a connection between the struggles for gay rights and civil rights.
