President Obama Pens Gettysburg Address Tribute That Mentions Gay Rights
Yesterday President Obama issued the above handwritten tribute to the Gettysburg Address that closes with a reference to gay rights. The final paragraph:
Through cold war and world war, through industrial revolutions and technological transformations, through movements for civil rights and women's rights and workers rights and gay rights, we have. At times, social and economic change have strained our union. But Lincoln's words give us confidence that whatever trials avail us, this nation and the freedom we cherish can, and shall, prevail.Many on Twitter are focusing on the president's penmanship. Commenters on wingnut sites are claiming to see evidence of all their usual delusions: Marxism, socialism, Satanism, etc.
