Michelle Obama: Barack Will Fight For Gay Equality (Won't hold my breath)
(New York City) Barack Obama will fight for equal rights for gays just as he fought to help working-class families overcome poverty, the Democratic presidential hopeful's wife told a gay Democratic group Thursday night.

"Barack believes that we must fight for the world as it should be, a world where together we work to reverse discriminatory laws," she said at a Manhattan fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council.

I'll believe it when he denounces PUBLICALLY, the anti marriage amendment in Calif ( we've already lost in FLA). He has my vote, that is all, at this point. He must earn my trust
