MICHELLE OBAMA: BARACK WILL FIGHT AGAINST TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE

In a bold speech, she tells a radical gay group that her husband will fight for their cause. From the story: She said he supported a complete repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, which only recognizes marriages between men and women and upholds states’ rights not to honor same-sex marriages performed elsewhere. He also opposes a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward gays in the U.S. military and was against a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, she added. (Reuters)

But the lifestyle she celebrates leads to more death. From another story: The number of young homosexual men being newly diagnosed with HIV infection is rising by 12 percent a year, with the steepest upward trend in young black men, according to a new report. (Washington Post)
