Faith And Dignity
Faith Cheltenham works to ensure that everyone who identifies as LGBT feels appreciated and embraced by the community.
LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community pride. President Obama has been a dedicated leader in advancing LGBT rights, doing everything from abolishing Don't Ask, Don't Tell to signing landmark legislation to prevent hate crimes. The President openly stated his support for marital equality earlier this month on ABC News, highlighting his conviction that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, shouldbe treated equallyunder thelaw.
In honor of LGBT Pride Month, President Obama hosted a gathering in the East Room. Ahead of the yearly celebration, the President greeted community leaders, students, elected officials, and members of the military forces and paid respect to the generations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans who dedicated their lives to establishing equality for everyone.
