Michelle Obama says her husband will fight for equality for gays just as he fought to help working-class families overcome poverty. The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke Thursday night in New York City at a fundraising dinner for the Democratic National Committee's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council. She spoke about her husband's record pushing for workplace discrimination legislation in Illinois when he served in the Legislature there. The DNC says the dinner raised more than $1 million.-- APOne of the things I will be so happy about come Jan. 09, is that when we win we can get back on track with trying to make our country more fair for everyone. I will be happy to shine some light on all this racist, homophobic, sexist crap that has become somehow acceptable again under the Bush administration. These slimy screwed up haters will have to crawl back under the rocks that they have slithered out from in the last 8 years. It won't be easy but it will be worth it.
