WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews.com) - President Obama has included homosexual couples raising children in a list of "American families" in a recent proclamation declaring Monday National Family Day.

"Whether children are raised by two parents, a single parent, grandparents, a same-sex couple, or a guardian," said Obama in the proclamation, "families encourage us to do our best and enable us to accomplish great things."

The president went on to encourage participation in Family Day by sharing an evening meal as a family unit. "A strong nation is made up of strong families, and on this Family Day, we rededicate ourselves to ensuring that every American family has the chance to build a better, healthier future for themselves and their children," he said.

The family day proclamation is in keeping with Obama's oft-professed support for the homosexualist agenda.

When Obama proclaimed June "LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) Pride Month," he reiterated that he supports several issues on the homosexual docket, including homosexual hate crime legislation, homosexual "affirmative action" in the workplace, allowing open homosexuals in the military, and adoption to homosexual couples.

During the same month, Obama signed a presidential memorandum extending spousal benefits to homosexual partners and other unmarried partners of federal employees.
