During an interview (here) with the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), seeking the presidency in 2008, responded to a question on special rights for LGBT citizens.
Obama disagrees with the notion that things like hospital visitations for same-sex spouses are special rights. "How would Jesus feel about somebody not being able to visit somebody they love when they're sick?" He asks.
But that response is a dance around the simple issue of full equality. Perhaps it is his way of sticking to his campaign pledge of being a “uniter.” The question is, Mr. Obama, “Why aren't the basic rights of LGBT citizens important to you?
