Yes, you read the caption of this post correctly. The White House - and our liar-in-chief, Barack Obama - believe that sexual orientation is a "lifestyle choice." That's what Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett (pictured at right), stated in an interview with the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, while discusses the recent string of suicides related to anti-gay bullying and Minnesota teen suicide victim Justin Aaberg in particular. One can only assume that Obama's BFF, Rick Warren, a promoter of ex-gay reparative therapy - is now in charge of LGBT issues at the White House. The video here shows Jarret making this utterly f*cked up statement that flies in the face of EVERY legitimate medical and mental health association. WTF is wrong with Obama? Is he trying to make LGBT voters stay home in droves on November 2, 2010? If that's his goal, then I say "let's give him all that he what he wants." Seriously, this statement sounds like it is right out of Family Research Council or Focus on the Family. Could a Republican in the White House be much worse?*
Michael Petrelis rightly rips Ms. Jarret and indirectly Barack Obama a new as the saying goes. Here are some highlights:
*
Today the Washington Post's gay kapo Jonathan Capehart shares a video interview he conducted on Monday with senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. She clearly states a belief that Minnesota gay teen Justin Aarberg, who committed suicide in July after being bullied, made a "lifestyle choice."
*
What an outrage to claim that the 15-year-old Aarberg made a choice to be gay, and that sexual orientation is a lifestyle. Did she get her talking points from Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council? It's doubly offensive that Capehart makes no effort to point out how dangerous Jarrett's thinking is.
*
If Capehart were willing to risk his White House access to events like a Latina Fiesta night, he might have taken his tongue off Jarrett and Obama's posteriors and challenged her employment of "lifestyle choice" in speaking about the support of the Aarberg family for their gay son and brother.
*
With friends like Jarrett and gay reporters such as Capehart, why worry about our enemies at the Family Research Council, National Organization for Marriage and the Mormon Church?
*
Andrew Sullivan has these further thoughts on this batshitery and utter betrayal of LGBT citizens:
*
Those are the words Obama aide Valerie Jarrett uses to describe one of the recent gay suicide victims. "Lifestyle choice." Yes, the Obamaites mean well, even if they've done so little. But they really are completely clueless, utterly tone-deaf, and completely out to lunch on gay issues, aren't they? Lifestyle choice? A 15 year old boy is gay, and has a sexual orientation, not a "lifestyle choice," for Pete's sake. What's next: sexual preference?

All of this begs the question of when are LGBT voters going to open their eyes to the fact that Obama and the national Democrats do not give a flying f*ck about the lives or rights of LGBT citizens. They will say whatever they think will secure our votes and monetary contributions, but they have ZERO intention of doing ANYTHING to move LGBT equality forward. It's all lies and and bullshit which HRC and other Obama and Democrat apologists continue to eat out of the trough. It is beyond disgusting.
