Here's a great report on Michelle Obama's position on gay and lesbian civil rights from Steve Ralls at the San Francisco Sentinal:
.
Last night, in a passionate address to the Democratic National Committee’s Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council, Mrs. Obama delivered a rousing call-to-equality and put her husband on record as a fighter for the full equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
.
“Barack believes,” she said, “that we must fight for the world as it should be, a world where we work together to reverse discriminatory laws.”

“While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It’s about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect.”
— Senator Barack Obama
